The pub is set within the town walls between the marina and castle. This historic town, a World Heritage Site, is well worth a visit, ending with a welcome pint at the Black Boy. The public bar and small lounge are warmed by roaring fires. Good range of food is served and a good range of guest beer. There is a drinking area outside on the traffic-free street. A former local CAMRA Pub of the Year award winner.

Listed status: II
This 17th.century inn just inside the medieval town walls was renovated in 1954 and the two bars are barely changed since. In the centre is the lounge, which was a shop prior to 1954, and retains its bar fittings from the 1950s. The chunky timber counter was slightly extended on the right in the 1970s and a new bar top was added; the bar-back shelves have Formica covering. The fine carved settles and chairs add to the room's character and a line drawing on the wall confirms the fireplace to be a replacement. The public bar on the left was two rooms before 1954 and has some genuine beams, an old stone fireplace at the front and a 1950s brick one at the rear. The dado panelling and some seating could well date back to the 1950s but the unusual area above the servery is much older. The counter is a replacement but in the same style as that in the lounge. The dining room also has an old stone fireplace at the front but recently the 1950s brick one at the rear was replaced. A passage with a quarry-tiled floor links the three rooms.
