Cask Ale

Early 18th-century corner hostelry centrally located close to the historic Chalybeate spring that established this Royal spa town. Inside, a warm ambiance is created by the wooden floor and ceiling and assorted seating. In summer the outdoor pedestrianised seating is very popular and provides the perfect position to watch the world go by in the setting of the Georgian colonnaded architecture. Patrons can also enjoy live Summer music performed on the Pantiles from the outside tables. Acquired by Fuller's of Chiswick, London in 2012.
