The Puzzle Hall can be found nestling between the canal and the river. The 17th-century building once included a brewery; the tower is now incorporated into the accommodation. Reopened by a community pub company after extensive renovation on 23 December 2019. There is steep slope down to the entrance from the road and a single step at the entrance.

There are six handpulls serving up to six changing beers. Always has a bitter and a dark ale available. Food is limited to gourmet pork pies and crisps.

  • Pub of The Season Summer 2022
  • National Award – Winner of the Pub Saving Award 2020
