Former Antic pub now run by Portobello Brewery. Following a 2022 refurbishment and extension the bar has a brighter and fresher look with a relaxed, homely ambience. The L-shaped bar leads to a rear conservatory and open-to-view kitchen. The clientèle is a mixture of local academia, musicians and people out for an enjoyable time. A front patio offers outside drinking. Normally up to four cask ales are available, usually one or two of which are from the house brewery plus guest beers with a mainly regional focus, including from local microbreweries. Quiz on Monday evening, life drawing on Tues evening and live jazz on Sunday, plus a DJ on from time to time. The food offering includes burgers and steak.
