Situated in the city centre on the road to the cathedral with an outside patio area overlooking the river, this is a popular pub for beer drinkers, locals and visitors to the city. It has a very relaxed daytime atmosphere with breakfasts available from 10am, takeaway coffees during the day, and a good range of pub food. Weekends are particularly busy and tables can be pre-booked online or by telephone for food and sports TV reservations. The lower bar can be used as a function room and disabled access and a lift to the outside terrace area are available.

Real ale was withdrawn in November 2024
