Historic Interest

In 2010 it mainly functioned as a limited opening late bar known as The Bar. For a while in 2014 it did serve food during the day and even cask beer at one point, until it was decided that the handpump was getting in the way of serving cocktails and the handle was removed rendering it inoperative.
