Large Brewers Fayre pub which opened in July 1997 at a cost of £2.5 million. Originally built as a home for a Portuguese wine merchant, for which evidence still exists in the form of ceramic tiles showing the grape harvest, in 1928 it became a convent school. The building is Grade I listed. Pleasant multi-roomed environment, with painted walls and stained wood, leads to a relaxed atmosphere. Accommodation is in the 56 room Premier Inn adjacent. Opens for breakfasts 6.30am-10.30am Mon-Fri; 7am-11am Sat & Sun.
