A former Matthew Brown house originally known as the Red Cat,that closed in 1978 and later reopened as a restaurant under the same name. It was renamed the Fat Bull in late 2014 and trading as a gastropub. Following another change of ownership, it has reopened as the Red Cat once again.

Although predominantly a restaurant there is a small conservatory where casual drinkers are welcomed every evening during the week and during the afternoon at weekends. There are two changing real ales available, often from locally-based micro breweries.
