This Pub is Closed Long Term

Closed unexpectedly in January 2025. Details removed from Greene King's website.

Greene King "Meet & Eat" branded pub in the former cattle market refreshment rooms. The large main room has a impressive timber roof structure and a mix of high and low seating. Adjacent to this is an attractive modern conservatory which was added when the building was converted to a pub. There is a patio area at the front, facing the large car park. Several sports TVs; pool table; recorded music. Food is available all day, and there are offers on the main meals, and for the over-60s on weekdays. It gets very busy on football and rugby match days.

Historic Interest

A former Victorian cattle market refreshment rooms with clock tower. Listed grade II. It operated as a cafeteria and also had a superb unaltered bar until 1990 when it was closed. The Cattle Market was redeveloped for retail and leisure uses in 1996-97, and the pub was reopened by Hardy & Hanson in 1997, much altered and enlarged with a conservatory. From Hardy & Hanson it passed to Greene King.
