History: Large detached Victorian Gothic Grade II-listed residence converted to pub-use in the 1980s. Originally a private residence named Milverton Lodge built in the mid to late 19th century. Since that time it had varied uses including that of a private hotel in the 1960s, before becoming a nightclub in the 70s. Some impressive internal features, and set in lovely grounds. A refurbishment a few years ago transformed it from a student drinking haunt to more of a student drinking and dining haunt. It ditched the cask beer in 2010 too. Former Tetley house at one time selling Tetley Mild, Bitter, and Ind Coope Burton Ale.
