Town pub situated on the south side of the River Nene in Cotton End. Its small central bar contains six hand pumps serving both the front opened-out room and rear bar. The lovely beer garden contains a building which formerly housed the Cotton End brewery, plus a function room. Check Facebook for seasonal opening times variations. The pub is a regular outlet for Great Oakley ales. Food from "Illuminated Kitchen" is served Thurs to Sunday. The rather unusual name is believed to refer to an Earldom of the the town of Pontefract in Yorkshire during the Tudor period when it was shortened to "Pomfret" - rather than the family of fish sharing the same name!
