Website

A former Antic pub, subsequently taken over by Portobello brewery in late 2020, situated in a former 1960s post office. Retains many features of the original building, including the strong room now transformed into a snug, and the original exterior. Two quiet snug rooms contain old post office equipment. Walls are hung with postal memorabilia including framed postage stamps and telegrams. Music usually playing in main room. There are board games, suitable for children. Food is good quality, with Sunday lunch a speciality. Dogs are welcome. Quiz night on Wednesday. Two or three changing real ales available, usually including one from Portobello.
