When the Burberry clothes factory closed 25 years ago, (Goths 5 - Chavs 1 was one comment), the upstairs of this superb building was converted into the largest pub in the town.

Now re-opened, in June 2015, after a major refurbishment, it is now the largest fish n chip restaurant cum bar in the town.

Overlooking the harbour on the Abbey (east) side of the river, the Abbey Wharf serves six beers, mainly national brands.

Tables on the two sun decks overlook the harbour, providing superb views. The roof is partially glazed and two sides have panoramic windows. A new mezzanine level has been incorporated.

This latest fish restaurant cum bar combines former industrial chic with bleached wood floors.

Don't be put off by the unprepossessing frontage - this is a Grade II listed building so outside alterations are prohibited.

Seats over 300 people. Relaxed during the day, much livelier in the evenings with regular music nights.

The good value food is served all day. Take-away counter.

Historic Interest

Grade ll listed building originally a covered market and later Burberry's clothes factory
