This imposing Grade II-listed red brick Edwardian Gothic building was first licensed in 1767. It is a free house now but the exterior still displays a 1980s circular Watney's sign.
The spacious ground floor bar doubles as a portrait gallery of British royalty, playing cards and sports teams (especially rugby), whilst the function room upstairs houses an impressive collection of brewery-themed mirrors and hosts the regular folk club events.
Guest beers are often from Marston's, including other breweries within the group, or Sambrook's. The pub also offers a fine selection of whiskies.
Please note that is not normally open on a Sunday unless there is a football game on television. It is closed on all Bank Holidays.
