Previously the Mermaid, it reopened under the new name "Sheep & Penguin", mid August 2023. The building has been completely refurbished, inside and out being "Commended" in the refurbishment category of CAMRA's 2024 Pub Design Awards. Now a smart, modern, bar with up to four real ales on.

Main toilets and a private dining room are on the first floor. Level access and, on the ground floor, there is a disabled loo with baby changing facilities - also family friendly.

Bath & Borders CAMRA Borders/Rural Pub of the Year 2025 (Royal Oak, Bath is Overall winner).
