Airy, square single-bar corner restaurant/pub with a handsome ceiling and pillar and a wonderful four arched, mirrored, wooden bar-back. Now under Brunning & Price management with two keg beers and some unusual bottled beers plus the cask ale; interesting and varied menu including Sunday roasts. TV may be on for Six Nations Rugby but not for football. Up a rather long back staircase is a separate dining room. The venue is very much food-oriented but there are some tables where drinkers-only can perch. The pub became the Royal Gardener during the 1970s and early 1980s, then the Slug & Lettuce, then Page, before reverting to its original 1846 name.
