Large centrally located stone built Wetherspoon conversion of 18th century Vicarage and College known as the Useful Knowledge Society from which the pubs name is derived. An adjacent Technical college built in 1900 as an annexe to the college has also been incorporated into the pub. Management and staff are cask beer orientated and the pub holds occasional beer festivals sponsoring local micros e.g. Hawkshead, Thornbridge, Oakham and Wentworth. The pub is well divided internally with a number of partitioned areas seating ranges from stools and chairs to sofas. During the day and early evening the pub is popular with shoppers and families enjoying the good value food and drinks. The 4 guest beers often include a local beer. Children are welcome during the day if kept under control. Alcohol served from 9am.
