The pub was first licensed in 1767, but the present building dates from 1897. Now, part of the Brew Dog chain, it is a small single bar corner pub with bare floors, large windows and simple furnishings, but an impressive ornate bar front. At the beginning of 2018 it had had a lick of paint and had changed its name to the Queen Charlotte.

The beer range varies, and at times you might only find one cask beer on sale, usually sourced from smaller breweries. Somewhat of a novelty, draught beer is available in third and two-thirds of a pint measures as well as in halves and pints. A range of bottled beers (including Belgian and American) and craft keg beers are also stocked.

In 2018 the Draft House chain was acquired by Brewdog who, in November of that year, announced that "Cask Is Back", signalling their return to the cask beer fold. But now the cask beers come from such as Sambrook's & Siren. We believe hat all cask is £3.25 a pint all day every Tuesday and that prices are reduced for one particular "Daily Cask" each day until it runs out.
