Away from the busy High Street, this is a large pub with two distinct areas, the rear of which is available for functions. Originally dating from 1697 and rebuilt in 1899, it was destroyed by a gas explosion in 1977; the original plans were used for the subsequent rebuilding two years later. It is described by the Council as "an attractive, deftly designed building with effective and controlled use of decoration".
A wide food menu includes sandwiches, a kids' menu, Sunday roasts, and of course pub classics.
