This Pub is Closed Long Term

A large and impressive mellow brick building on the junction of Stocks Lane and the A50, almost opposite the entrance to Radbroke hall. Four rooms lead off a spacious central bar and it is the privacy given by these smaller rooms which makes the pub popular for meetings by a number of local groups. The pub has all the hallmarks of the Sam Smith trade, viz no music or quizzes, web page, Facebook and their own brand of beer, mixers and spirits.

A large and secluded beer garden is popular in fine weather, particularly for families. Food is served every lunchtime and in the evenings from Tuesday to Saturday. Bus 88 passes the door, check timetable marked as timing point.

Cash Only (but they helpfully describe how to get to the cash machine on the Barclays site opposite)

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Although old-looking, this pub seems to have been rebuilt in the 1930s as a roadhouse (it used to be known as the Mainwaring Arms after the chief local family). There are four separate rooms off a spacious central bar where the counter front is of 1930s fielded panelling but the back fitting is modern. There is a large inter-war brick fireplace with a shallow arch and coal fire. On the front left is a room that may have been two small ones in the past. The middle left room is small with another 1930s brick fireplace and settle-style fixed seating. The rear left ‘Mainwaring Room’ has fielded panelling to picture frame height, a largish 1930s brick fireplace and settle seating. On the front right is what locals call the ‘Mourning Room’ with a fine 1930s fireplace of brick and also beams.

General information about historic pub interiors

Built of brick and appears to have been built in the 1930s it retains four separate rooms off a spacious central bar with lots of inter-war fittings.

The front door leads to a carpeted lobby bar with inter-war fielded panelling on the walls, mostly to picture-frame height and some on the dado. The bar counter front is of 1930s fielded paneling but the bar back is modern. There is a large inter-war brick fireplace with a shallow arch and coal fire.

On the front left is a room that looks like it was two small ones in the past – the first part has a small 1930s brick fireplace and some fixed seating. The rear part has more fixed seating and a tiled floor.

The middle left room is small with another 1930s brick fireplace and settle-style fixed seating. The rear left ‘Mainwaring Room’ has fielded panelling to picture frame height, a largish 1930s brick fireplace and settle seating. On the front right is what locals call the ‘Mourning Room’ with a fine 1930s fireplace of brick and beams; the dado panelling may be old.
