Under the same ownership for many years, The Market has one of the smallest bars on the island, serving two separate rooms. What it lacks in size is more than made up for in character with few pubs remaining of this style in the British Isles. This is a friendly pub, where the visitor is almost bound to end up in conversation with other drinkers. In close proximity to the bus station and ferry terminal, it makes a great waiting room. An unusual painting of a market scene resides above the front bar, apparently painted by a customer in days gone by. It was in recent years rediscovered, having been covered by another painting.

Historic Interest

May be the smallest pub on the Island, first licensed in 1852.

First licensed 1852. Ground floor pub in a three storey block. Latest refit stated to be 1970s (info from a friend of the person who did the work). Corridor leads to R/H small snug bar and behind, a larger bar. All done out in cheap ply panelling to resemble a 'Tudor' effect. Some fixed bench seating from 1970s refit, the two bars have an opening with glass sash panel at top, Deco style fireplace in rear bar. Servery is a small triangular affair serving both bars with a unique bottle opener to 'push' cork and marble stoppers into a bottle to open! 1970s style pot shelf.
