Following the demolition of the previous pub on this site as part of the ongoing modernisation of the whole area, the new pub arose phoenix-like from the ashes of the old! The pub has been restored in splendid Edwardian style with trademark Sam Smith's dark wood and etched glass. There is a downstairs Public Bar and another room upstairs with a bar and restaurant. Food is served only upstairs. The menu includes lunchtime sandwiches plus all the usual pub favourites.

Two handpumps offer OBB, and there is the usual range of SS keg beers. Note that in common with other SS outlets no swearing is allowed, or usage of electronic gadgets such as mobile phones or tablets; unless you are paying with one! And not in common with other SS outlets, this tourist-area one even has its own website.
