Website

A very popular gastropub, in colonial style until September 2017 but, following a change of ownership, its name then lost its Diplomacy and the bar has now lost its handpumps in favour of cocktails. Sad.

Renamed St John's Tavern in 2021. Up to 20 keg beers in October 2022, all £6.25/pint or £3.50/half
