This listed building, formerly the White Hart is now part of the Wetherspoon chain. The pub has been extensively modified but retains the original facade. A large bar area leads to the gardens at the rear and side. On the walls, heritage displays include whaling, drainage of the Fens, Horatio Nelson and replica whalebones. Look out for the unique carpet. There are regular beer and cider festivals plus occasional tap takeovers. Wheelchair access is available throughout.
