This imposing Grade II-listed red brick Edwardian Gothic building was first licensed in 1767. It is a free house now but the exterior still displays a 1980s circular Watney's sign.

The spacious ground floor bar doubles as a portrait gallery of British royalty, playing cards and sports teams (especially rugby), whilst the function room upstairs houses an impressive collection of brewery-themed mirrors and hosts the regular folk club events.

Guest beers are often from Marston's, including other breweries within the group, or Sambrook's. The pub also offers a fine selection of whiskies.

Please note that is not normally open on a Sunday unless there is a football game on television. It is closed on all Bank Holidays.

Historic Interest

Grade II listed, Historic England ref 1066799. From the late 1840s it was used as a meeting place by the Washington Brigade of the Chartists. Also the nearest pub to the Communist Club located at 49 Tottenham Street between 1878 and 1882, and it is likely that Marx and Lenin both visited. Rather later on, Bob Dylan sang at a folk club here in December 1962, his first gig outside the United States.
