Entering from Station Road, there is a full height, wood-panelled space with a curved staircase leading to a small mezzanine area that also gives access to the toilets. Steps lead down to the rear area with tables given over more to food. There is a mixed clientele of all ages and it can be quite crowded at weekends. A small area on either side of the central entrance is very popular on warm sunny days bringing an almost continental cafe feel to the frontage. A small beer garden is located outside at the rear, this is popular in good weather. Music may feature on Friday evenings. NB. There is a disabled person’s toilet on the ground floor, accessed by a ramp.

Historic Interest

This was a village hall with a dance hall upstairs and was built in 1937. It became a Chinese restaurant and was converted by JD Wetherspoon in Sept 1998 into a cafe bar-style public house called the Kings Hall. Around 2000 it was restored after a serious fire. Bought by Stonegate PubCo in Oct 2016 and renamed by them in February 2017 to the King's Tap. Another change occurred 22/11/2024 when it was restyled as the Watchmakers. In Jan 2026 it became an Irish-themed pub, the Dancing Dog.
