A small, wedge-shaped pub near the Coliseum Theatre, the present building was rebuilt in 1843 to the design of Isaac Bird. Charles Dickens drank here during the years he was working to buy his family out of a debtors prison.
An upstairs room with one ale handpump is available for dining or private hire. Food includes traditional pub meals and Sunday roasts, smaller dishes, sharing platters, baguettes, salads, burgers, and a kids menu.
Normally there are four cask ales available, three of which change. Part of the small Morton-Scott pub chain.
Historic Interest
Grade II listed, Historic England ref 1066313. Established in 1764 as the Granby's Head. It later became the Marquis of Granby, honouring General John Manners, who led the Horse Grenadier Guards during the Seven Year War of 1756-63, and gave £200 to any officer or wounded soldier under him who opened a tavern and named it after him. Earlier on this site at a tavern named The Hole-in-the-Wall, the famous Restoration highwayman Claude Duval was arrested, and then hanged at Tyburn Tree.
This Pub serves 3 changing beers and 1 regular beer.
