There's plenty of Brewer's Tudor dark beams in this pub, and an original "Bass on Draught" window survives at the front. This is a small corner-site pub which has the look of always having been a basic boozer. Furnishings are in the traditional pub style - soft green upholstered banquettes combined with round tables and stools. A wealth of historic memorabilia and pictures of characters from bygone years adorn the walls. This is a friendly locals' pub.
Having closed in early 2023 when the licensee retired, the pub was subsequently acquired by Windmill Taverns and reopened under its new name in late May 2023. Card payments only.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
Rebuilt in 1891 this single storey small corner pub with balustrade that, apart from losing internal divisions, is little changed for many years. It has a fine five-bay mirrored back fitting with a central ballustraded bay. There is an old bar counter curved at both ends. Along the exterior walls are good seating bays of indeterminate age. Note the 1920s ‘Bass on Draught’ with the red triangle on exterior windows and also the ‘To Ladies & Gentlemen’s Toilets’ blue etched and frosted glass panel in the door at the rear. Half timbering on the walls was presumably added in the 1960s. Good leaded lights above exterior windows.
