Improve This Listing

This imposing 17th century pub was originally a coaching inn and is rich in history. It was previously named Gullivers due its connection with Isaac Guliver, a local smuggler. It is in the safe hands of a family who previously ran an award-winning pub nearby and offers a well-chosen selection of ales from the L-shaped bar which serves two distinct areas. The landlord plays music Sunday afternoons and live music also features occasionally. There is shove-ha'penny and a Dartboard. No children after 6pm.
