This small, medieval building is dominated by its twin gables, and inside the pub is cosy, friendly and unspoilt. Up to six beers are available (two on gravity), mainly from local breweries, and real cider is also served. Please note that half pints have an additional mark-up compared with pints. Folk evenings are held on a Saturday, and the pub plays host to other groups in the cellar bar. No food is served but customers are welcome to to bring in their own or order a takeaway and the pub provides plates & cutlery for a small charge. Aside from the nearest buses in Worthy Lane, many more are available a short walk away towards the city centre.
Please note that opening times may differ from those published on the pub's own website and Facebook. The hours shown above were checked with the pub February 2023.
Historic Interest
Grade II listed. Listed for its group value along with 32 to 44 and 52 to 60 Hyde Street. Historic England list entry 1095451 though that says it dates from either 1833 or late 19th century rather than medieval; the step down from the street and the low beamed ceiling certainly suggests a much older heritage.
15th century timber-framed brick built pub with twin tile hung gables. Originally there was a passage down the centre of the pub with the public bar to the right and a snug to the left and service to the latter was via a hatch in the tiny ante room between the two present rooms. In the sloping floored bar the counter is at least 40 years old and there is an old wood surround fireplace on the left. The present back bar was the landlords private living room until the early 60s with a bar back, bar counter and fixed seating from then. Visit the gents for it possibly unique layout of a single urinal and a WC!
Changes - I think there's been too much modernisation here for inclusion. The counters survive, but there's no fixed seating, and little else of age. The Gents' toilet (not "unique" I suspect) is the best feature. Nevertheless, highly recommended as a good community local.
This Pub serves 3 changing beers and 1 regular beer.
