Situated opposite the old Devenish brewery, the pub was once the brewery tap, quite small inside, but there are numerous tables outside on sunny side of square and is extremely popular. Live music in the Square most summer weekends Usually five ales including a ‘Lifeboat Ale’ a re-badged beer where a percentage of sales is donated to the RNLI. Large range of rums available. Winter hours slightly more restricted

Historic Interest

Was the Devenish Brewery tap until brewing ceased in mid-80s
