Although it feels like a hotel bar, it is very well appointed and comfortable single large room which is well broken up, creating nooks and crannies, with the soft furnishings giving a casual feel. A separate dining area is off that. On the walls are enlarged framed seaside postcards, alongside stills from comedy programmes and films. A quiet and convivial atmosphere is maintained throughout, all set in well-tended grounds. Food is served daily till just before 10pm. An Innkeepers Lodge hotel is attached.
Historic Interest
From 24/6/2017 it became a Miller & Carter Steakhouse; in doing so it also lost its cask ale. Prior to that, the former Rudyard hotel became part of the Toby empire back in the 1990s. At one time the corner near the front door made a feature of images and information about Sir Winston Churchill, this was presumably to honour the naming link between Rudyard Kipling and the former prime minister.
