This historic15th century building is no longer a pub.

Olde worlde hotel bar. Was full of (well behaved) late teens on the Tuesday after Xmas. Barman put out snacks in dishes on the bar. I assumed it was a birthday party but apparently they were put out simply as the bar was busy :) Glad I visited this pub, although are there are better in town (Crown & Mitre, Live & Let Live).

Quite a sombre atmosphere sometimes, but a very pretty pub with a nice cobbled beer garden near St Nick's church. Beer selection pretty average at best.

The 'wooden' bar is made of plastic.

Offers some great traditional ales at times, well worth a visit even if you just pop in to see whats on offer. Looks dark and dingy on entering but there is a
nice light back bar. Music on Sunday afternoons, not for me but probably good for the older generations like my granddad.
3 quality real ales on my last visit 8/10

Visited a couple of times over 3 years, and to be honest I found it better the 2nd time. Friendly locals and staff, and they'd taken all the unnecessary sparklers off the ales - which were all served in top condition on my last visit. Younger clientele were serviced in the back games room with lager and louder music, but the main bar is traditional with a lively mix of locals and visitors. Accommodation was reasonable - huge fried brekkie, which was lovely in theory but after a session on their beers that didn't end until 1:30AM it was a touch trying!
Maybe it's all changed since my last visit 2 years ago but I hope it hasn't.

Went in for a hair of the dog on Sunday and had some nice food, then a blues band turned up! They play every sunday from 2-5. They were so good we stayed till they finished. Then got chatting to the locals who turned out to be friendly nice people.
