This Pub is Permanently Closed

Good-value food is available at lunchtimes in the bistro but it's as an after-work watering hole that Harry's comes into its own. Very popular with business types and sports fans, The atmosphere is good-natured but somehow the clock in here stopped circa 1985, a feeling reinforced by the endless 80s music retro programmes on the TV above the bar.

Historic Interest

Previously an electrical shop.
