This is a real gem of a back street local. No Food, just good beers. Family run local, established in 1840. The public bar adjoins a cosy snug with wooden settles, bookshelves and the famous Desmond - The Pub Dog. This gem is hidden away in the old town and is well worth seeking out. Has one Hand Pump normally serving beers from the WHARF (Former Red Fox Brewery) and the other Taylors Landlord. Often Buntingford beers make an appearance.
