Historic Interest
Redevelopment by Everards of the former Cricket Ground Hotel in 1974. The new pub is set back from the road, and was built behind the site of the original hotel. Contrary to popular belief, Grace Road was named after a local property owner and not the legendary cricketer W G Grace.
This Pub serves 1 changing beer (Everard's seasonal) and 1 regular beer.
