First licensed in 1830 and rebuilt in 1892, this venue had been thought permanently closed as a pub in January 2016 when it was sold by Greene King, with a stated restrictive clause that it not be run as a pub again. However it has now magically re-emerged as Brook House, a mix of restaurant, pub, and bar. It's run by Mark Dyer and Eamonn Manson, a duo who have already achieved success with three other local pubs. The venue is mainly laid out for diners but casual drinkers can obtain a drink at the bar and some space is available for them. The house ale is from Belhaven. There is an all-day food menu as well as specific lunch and dinner menus, and on Sundays there are roast options.
