Small multi-roomed pub with 2 handpumps. The range varies from local ales to breweries rarely seen in the area and may showcase both beers from the same brewery. There is a warming real fire in the winter while the expansive and sumptuous covered and heated beer garden provides comfort in all seasons. The walls of the beer garden are wonderfully decorated with murals as is the end wall of the pub and the wall adjacent to the main road and are a must see. The pub retains a beautiful hidden snug at the back which has recently had a door fitted making it ideal for holding private meetings. On the walls are histories of some of the families that used to live and work on Crook St. The houses and factories are now gone and a supermarket dominates the area. Note the hundreds of different pump clips on the ceiling beams showcasing the diverse beers that have been served up at the pub over the years. Fortunately the pub remains as a record of the industrial history of this part of town. The pub's name refers to the aromatic wetland plant meadowsweet which must have grown in this area long before the industrial and retail developments. Sandwiches and Pies available

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
By about 1950 three properties had been amalgamated to form the present pub, now surrounded by a traffic system. The layout of some six rooms or areas still retains quite number of 1950s fittings. The opening up may date from the 1950s or is due to Walkers Brewery's subsequent changes. Many of the areas have fixed seating and there are a couple of Victorian cast-iron fireplaces. There are a number of draught screens and some colourful glazed window screens. A recent change has been the careful shortening of the bar counter in 2005. There is wall-panelling to two-thirds height in most areas.
This Pub serves 2 changing beers and 0 regular beers.
