This large Old Town pub has wooden casks in the front bar, but these do not store beer. This is pumped up by air pressure from steel casks in the cellar. The front bar is cosy while the back bar opens up into a larger area and can get busy on the weekend. After a gap of many years food is now available everyday with breakfast available on Friday morning. The guest beer comes from the Wadworth guest list. Quiz night on Tuesdays.
