The oldest pub in Cheltenham and 'grade 2' listed. Leased from Butcombe Brewery by Good Chemistry Brewery in September 2026.

The older front area leads through to the newer bar area. There are two dart boards and a pool table area. Terrestrial live sport is shown in the main bar for special events, which is complemented by smaller quieter drinking/eating areas.

Beers from Good Chemistry range plus one Butcombe beer as part of the lease agreement. Plan to expand to 5 cask beers plus range of keg beers from Good Chemistry and others.
