First licensed as the Ship in Distress in 1780, the distress lasted for its first 40 years. Now a marvellous Fuller's pub, with beers kept in superb condition. Damaged during World War II, the pub was rebuilt with as many of the original 1895 fittings as possible: etched and leaded glasswork, decorative mirrors and an ornate wooden bar-back. It has an extensive collection of indie music, reflecting the local music industry; and hence the bar can be quite noisy in the evening.

Four to five cask ales are normally on offer, sometimes including a guest ale not from the Fuller's stable. The food offering is (tasty) toasties only.
