Grade 2 listed building in town centre. Main bar/lounge with b/w photos of old Peterborough and Whittlesey on the walls, and a second, sports-themed room at the rear with jukebox, TV and dartboards, also with bar access. Refurbishment in September 2012. Busy on festival days.
Built c.1630 and extended to the rear in 1963 by Steward & Patteson of Norwich, it has barely altered since then. Prior to the 1960s the pub consisted of two small rooms with an off-sales in the middle in what is now the main lounge bar at the front. This has a lapped wood counter, a bar back of shelves attached to a panelled wall, a large plain brick fireplace on the left, a smaller one on the right, fixed seating and the half timbering effect on the walls all from 1963. Note the old windows on the rear left which were in the original exterior wall. In the extension to the rear there is the intact 1963 replacement off sales hatch, toilet block on the left and the public bar at the rear. This has a solid wood counter, shelving on wood panelled walls of a style seen in the 1930s.
