Large 400 year old town centre pub with three rooms that have been opened out to create a J-shaped bar with a wooden and tiled floor. The intermediate area has high table and chairs, whilst either side is more secluded. The walls are decorated with theatre memorabilia since the pub is adjacent to the Royal and Derngate theatres resulting in it being frequented by theatre-goers and occasionally after show actors and musicians. The outside garden has a further 'garage' area providing cover. Refurbished and reopened on Friday 23 March 2018.

Information for this venue is provided by the Northamptonshire Branch of CAMRA
