Long established family run pub. It is a historic pub interior of regional importance, with a B2 Listed Status, See CAMRA's Pub Heritage for details.
The name changed to "Laverys" from "The Maze Inn" in the 1980s to avoid confusion with the, then, nearby Maze Prison.
Reported to have not reopened after the Covid lockdowns however some reviews from 2022 can be found so we are not sure. If the doors are closed in the evening, try knocking on the right-hand one - historically it's had a closed door policy.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: B2
The public bar (on the left) retains its richly decorated five-bay Victorian bar-back and the remains of five spirit casks. The bar counter is contemporary, as is the overall panelling on the walls and ceiling. There used to be two snugs down the right-hand side but these were removed in the 1960s. There are also the vestiges of a tiny snug between the end of the bar counter and the window which is said to have been used by ladies nipping in for a surreptitious drink. The lounge, forming the right-hand part of the pub is all modern but has been carefully fitted out in traditional style. If the doors are closed in the evening, knock on the right-hand one.
