This pub, with its tile-hung mansard roof, is one of the most attractive in town. It dates from the 1780s and is a former coaching inn. There is a bar area at the front and a restaurant area at the back which is laid for diners but can be used by drinkers. The guest beer is from the Fullers list. Following a major refurbishment in spring 2018 there is now a focus on good quality food which is served 12-3 and 5:30-9 Monday to Thursday, 12-9 Friday and Saturday and 12-7 on Sunday. As well as a small outside seating area at the front there is a large garden at the back with disabled access from the alley that runs up the right hand side of the pub. As part of the changes after Covid struck there are now two large, joined, teepees on the garden which are also laid for diners but can be used by drinkers. There is also a patio area between the pub and garden with steps. The very limited parking is along the town side of the pub. Dogs are welcome in the bar area, there are some board games, a wood burning fire and WiFi is available.
