A former Matthew Brown house originally known as the Red Cat,that closed in 1978 and later reopened as a restaurant under the same name. It was renamed the Fat Bull in late 2014 and trading as a gastropub. Following another change of ownership, it has reopened as the Red Cat once again.

Although predominantly a restaurant there is a small conservatory where casual drinkers are welcomed every evening during the week and during the afternoon at weekends. There are two changing real ales available, often from locally based micro breweries.
