Proclaiming itself the only traditional pub in the Gunwharf Quays retail complex this Grade II-listed building retains the layout of the former naval offices of HMS Vernon. There is a heated rear patio area and seating at the front which is ideal for people watching during the summer. The pub is open all day for food, including breakfast, and a number of the food dishes include local ales in their recipes.

Historic Interest

Formerly HMS Vernon Building 58, it was originally the storekeeper's office until 1923, when it became the administrative block. It is the only original building from HMS Vernon, having survived the Gunwharf Quays redevelopment.
