Entering from Station Road, there is a full height, wood-panelled space with a curved staircase leading to a small mezzanine area that also gives access to the toilets. The 'L' shaped bar serves a variety of cask and occasional guest beers. These are joined by eight keg taps set into the bar wall. Two large boards display the full beer offering information. Steps lead down to the rear area with tables given over more to food. There is a mixed clientele of all ages and it can be quite crowded at weekends. A small area on either side of the central entrance is very popular on warm sunny days bringing an almost continental cafe feel to the frontage. A small beer garden is located outside at the rear, this is popular in good weather. Very reasonably priced meals are available all day from a full English breakfast to early evening curry etc. Music may feature on Thursday evenings. NB. There is a disabled person’s toilet on the ground floor, accessed by a ramp.

Historic Interest

This was a village hall with a dance hall upstairs and was built in 1937. It became a Chinese restaurant and was converted by JD Wetherspoon in Sept 1998 into a cafe bar-style public house called the Kings Hall. Around 2000 it was restored after a serious fire. Bought by Stonegate PubCo in Oct 2016 and renamed by them in February 2017 to the King's Tap. Another change occurred 22/11/2024 when it was restyled as the Watchmakers.
