Originally built in 1860 as two cottages that soon became a beer house. Located at the edge of the town centre, this well established pub attracts a well mannered mix of discerning locals and office types in the know. The pub is noted for its attractive hanging baskets, is deceptively large after much enlargement and features service from both sides of a central bar. There is plenty of seating including benches along the outside of the building and a covered, heated courtyard used mainly by smokers. The circular floor hatch at the rear covers a well. Dogs welcome. In addition regular weekly events are held including; open-mic night on Monday, quiz night on Wednesday and acoustic music night on Thursday. There is a 10% reduction on real ales for all customers on Monday and Tuesday.

Historic Interest

Built about 1860. The rear extension is built over a well now covered by a hatch in the floor.
