Dating from 1896, this is one of Britain's Real Heritage Pubs hardly touched by the modern era. Relaunched in spring 2017 following an impressive restoration by Fuller Smith & Turner, the L-shaped bar serves two main rooms, plus there is also a large kitchen and dining room and a lovely snug. The well preserved interior features wood panelling, a chandelier, engraved mirrors and leaded windows. At the front and rear are spacious outside seating areas, including a fire pit. Late licence on Friday and Saturday nights, with small function space called 'The Workshop' at rear of the pub. 8 handpumps in 2 banks, each of 4, although on recent visits only one set is being used at all. Card payment only here.
