A large Victorian mirror-backed bar faces the door and several etched glass panels survive, particularly around what was the Private Bar. The rear bar has lounge seating, a pool table and pictures of liners and the old town on the walls. Pavement seating is available. Four handpumps serve a changing range of beers, but one of these is reported to be selling Wainwright's brewery conditioned (keg) beer through a modified handpump. Look out for the 'brewery conditioned' label on the pump clip - this is keg beer.

Misleading Dispense

This venue has been flagged by CAMRA volunteers as using a misleading dispense method to serve beer.

This is a 'Fresh Ale' - a keg beer served through a cask handpump. Find out more here Handpump Hijack.

If in doubt, we recommend that you Ask if it's Cask before making a purchase.

Historic Interest

Early 19th century, Grade II listed. Historic England list entry 1092029. This pub is reputed to have saved the lives of six sailors, three of them brothers, as they lost track of time whilst drinking here, and so failed to take up their posts on the maiden voyage of RMS Titanic.
