A traditional Palmers' pub at the centre of this busy market town, new tenants have introduced mainly daytime/early evening opening. The long main bar has a warm, comfortable feel and there is a peaceful family room across the passageway with service through a hatch to the corridor. With the thatched brewery less than a mile away, the real ales have few beer miles on the clock. There is no parking but several public car parks nearby. Dog friendly.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: II
In the centre of town, this 18th-century three-storey former hotel retains a number of Victorian and early-20th -century fittings. The entrance corridor has a colourful tiled floor and a serving hatch (unused) with glazed doors. In the public bar (once two rooms and now extended as well) are an old panelled counter and mostly original bar-back plus an old, tiled, cast-iron fireplace; there is another one in the ‘snug’, front left.
Looks like a more modern bar top stuck onto the original. The mirrored bar back fittings in both front and rear areas are original but have some new shelving and what is left of lower shelving after insertion of fridges looks more modern than old.
Alongside the door at the front is a disused door with a 'Jug Dept. etched panel. The rear disused fireplace is an early 20th century tiled, cast iron fireplace but the front brick fireplace is a modern brick one. The rear part of the room has been extended back (with a boat theme) and has two small open plan areas. The front left room now called the snug has an early 20th century tiled, cast-iron and wood surround fireplace with some good colourful tiling in front of it but no other old fittings.
