29th March 2024: Reopened under new management - this entry may be out-of-date.

This Grade 2 listed building dates back to 1365 and was originally the home to the Verger of St James Church. In 1574.

The rambling interior features a bar and three rooms, spread over two floors. The mix of simple but comfortable furniture, walls adorned with cross-channel swimmers’ signatures and eclectic décor make for an interesting pub to drink and eat in.

Enjoy traditional, home cooked food and premium drinks in cosy, traditional surroundings.

Up to three cask ales are served from local and national breweries. There's also a real cider from Duddas Tun.

On Wednesday evening, the pub does not serve food. Instead it runs a "Free Food Event" where customers can bring along their own food/take-away and the pub will provide crockery & cutlery.

During the year the pub holds fund-raising events for local charities.

The hidden terrace garden at the rear is a real treat during the summer months.

There's plenty of on street and pay and display parking nearby.
