Opened in 1996 as a re-creation of an 18th-century tavern. After over 20 years as the Jerusalem Tavern it was reopened in March 2022 in its current guise. The pub is now run by the building's owners but the tie up with St Peter's brewery remains for the time being. The decor is bare wooden floors and bare walls, with a mixture of wooden chairs and tables.
