One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
Built in 1885, some original Victorian splendour survives in the right hand bar area, including an ornate bar counter and wall panelling.
The right hand bar area has a fine canted forward bar counter with decorative brackets, a row of fielded panelling along the top which protrudes somewhat, and a foot rail around the bottom. Two carved wooden pillars hold up a three sectioned decorative plasterwork ceiling around which there is a deep frieze and cornice. Within the panelling on the rear wall are large plain mirrors, and the same wall has an impressive carved mahogany fireplace with a bowed mantelpiece featuring a carved head. However, the bar-back is modern, and unfortunately all the panelling on that wall, as well as the fireplace, have been painted dark green. The front area of the pub that is effectively now a kitchen and dining area has all modern fittings.
This Pub serves no changing beers and 2 regular beers.
