This Grade II listed inn is mentioned in Civil War records. Originally known as the Crosse Inn, and recorded as standing by the old market cross in 1535, it also occupied the old buildings to the right in Whewall's Court. The bar stands alongside a long drinking area that has unusual curved windows facing into the courtyard at the side of the pub. There's also a small room at a lower level at the front of the building. The cosy room to the side was originally the pool room, but is now a snug, complete with leather couches, where you can relax, eat or watch the plasma screen television. But, if you feel more active, you can also indulge in a disco or karaoke evening. There are future plans to open the upstairs accommodation and expand the outside drinking area. The pool table has gone, food and coffees have appeared, but the regular 'locals' remain the same. This is friendly pub where a conversation is never far away. Now has four hand pumps
