Formerly the Old Lion Tap, this is a significant Grade 1 Listed building. Built in the 15th century, it was first recorded as an inn in 1868 though it had previously functioned as a brew house. It closed as a pub in 1925 before re-emerging in 1990 as the Lion & Tap. A substantial restoration in Oct 2012 led to its current luxurious state. Spot the celebrity likenesses in the paintings!

The interior is labyrinthine, with several rooms and discreet areas. A grand spiral staircase leads to a restaurant area, and a large function room.

The pub was extended to the right in 2021 to include a room on Wyle Cop.

Taken over by Joule's June 2022 with a major renovation taking place over the summer of 2023. Along with the building work the name was changed to include the date 1429. This relates to the age of an internal beam dated by dendrochronology.

Historic Interest

Famously Henry VII (Henry Tudor) and his troops stayed in the building on the way to the battle of Bosworth. Reputedly the only bar in town in a Grade 1 listed public house.
