A traditional and very popular 17th century coaching inn, a place to relax before or after a tour of local Roman attractions. The entrance gives access to a smart bar counter serving adjoining bar and lounge areas which were once separate rooms. The public bar and lounge retain most of their original features and identities. The bar interior features low beams, stonework, an old fireplace and a section of higher level seating. The lounge/diner is similarly traditional where you will probably need a reservation to enjoy the intimacy of the adjoining restaurant space.

Historic Interest

17th century, original Roman wall
