Built in 1854 and designed probably by Thomas Pocock, it was enlarged in 2001 when knocked through into the former shop next door, giving a two room layout. Located on a corner of Portobello Road, this Young’s pub is at the heart of the present-day market and attracts many visitors as well as being patronised by locals. The interior features an impressive island bar with a tall bar-back, surrounded by partitioned recesses in dark wood topped with etched glass. The pavement tables are particularly in demand on Saturdays and during the summer months. The food offering includes pies and classic pub mains, and Sunday roasts. As at end of 2021 mid-pandemic a reduction to one of the previous three/four cask ales had been noted. There were two on a November 2023 visit. Further updates welcome.
