A former Jacobean banqueting hall, owners Spitting Feathers Brewery won a CAMRA English Heritage Conservation and Conversion to Pub Use award in 2009. Charles I stayed in the Grade II listed building in 1645 and, behind a perspex panel, part of the original wall can still be seen. Reached by fifteen steps from the street, this city centre pub's stone floors, high ceilings and tapestries create a terrific ambience. A comprehensive, changing list of real ales from micros, many regional, complements the house beers from their own brewery in nearby Waverton plus an eclectic selection of bottled and canned beers including bottled real ciders. The food is inventive and freshly prepared.
