Three storey Victorian building. Seasonal summer pub 2015 award winner. Although the room divisions have been lost in recent years, it still retains the original counter, bar back fitting, paneled walls and parquet floor. Charrington's tiled apron around the base of the counter. Also, a vestibule entrance on the Nelson Street side with stained glass windows. The mosaic floors in the lobby on the Nelson Street side are survivors from the original Victorian build. Three cask ales. All food served is vegan or vegetarian. A beer garden with decking has been added behind the pub. Live music most nights in the pub either in the main bar or in the upstairs rooms.

Historic Interest

Victorian building given a refit by Charringtons in the inter-war years.

A three-storey Victorian building given a refit by Charringtons in the inter-war years. Although the room divisions have been lost in recent years, it still retains the inter-war counter (note that it has been shortened on the left side), bar back fitting, panelled walls and herringbone wooden floor. Note the distinct Charrington's red and cream tiled apron around the base of the counter. Also, a vestibule entrance on the Nelson Street side with attractive stained glass. The etched windows are likely to be replacements.
