First licensed in 1736, the present Grade-II listed building dates from 1895. Large bar with two distinct areas, having expanded into the next building in the mid-1990s; the left side is mainly for dining. It is just off Oxford Street and thus can get busy particularly with the after-work crowd, but there are plenty of seats. There are ten handpumps offering mainly well-known ale brands including a house ale; but availability is tailored to footfall. A large food menu includes bar snacks, sharing platters, Nicholson's pies, and pub classics. Last refurbed at the end of 2023.
