The island bar has pilasters running all around it but a small section on the western side is a form of buffet now. The little-altered island bar back is topped off with a clock within a broken pediment. Within it the original office remains, one of some 20 left in the country. Has a good cornice and corner vestibule otherwise the other fittings are modern.
