Typical for the town public house in 3 story Georgian building that has seen better days, once it was known as the Spirit Vaults and had its own brewery (Swifts) which brewed behind in Crown St. Today it as the opening hours suggest is more of a bar for the younger weekend crowd. Wii and other electronic games are available to play inside with a huge screen. The internal layout dates from an early 1990’s refurbishment when it was a flourishing Marston’s house with a good reputation for lunchtime food. The front is open plan with a long bar area to the right leading through to the back with a pool table to at the rear. Disappointingly no real ale is to be found. Can be busy on Saturday nights when the pre loaders crawl into town.
