Steeped in local history, this 16th century former coaching inn is said to be the site of Oliver Cromwell's recruiting station and the gates from the market square were once the entrance to Huntingdon prison. An everchanging selection of beers is served from up to ten hand pumps, including many beers from local and regional breweries, including locally brewed Potbelly beers.
