A long, one-room pub which opens out towards the back and leads off an atmospheric, traffic-free street meaning that the outside seating area is relatively fume free. It is a busy, lively, popular venue with large screen TV (picture only), piped music, snacks and an extensive menu of pub standards served daily. 10% discount for CAMRA members.

The pub started to stock Old Peculier early in 2022 - encouraged by regulars who used to sup it at the Museum where it is no longer on sale. It is now a regular beer.

Weston's Old Rosie is no longer considered a "real cider" by CAMRA's defintion.
