Reopened on 21 September 2020 after nearly 3 years of closure, this small town-centre pub has undergone some major, but stylish, internal changes. The narrow frontage belies its interior, which spills into next door with extended drinking spaces, and well to the rear with a garden and smoking area. Favoured by a good cross-section of locals and students, the pub offers a selection of local real ales, but also has a newly-installed (Oct 2020) microbrewery running to sell its own brews over the bar. The bar room has a raised and comfortably-furnished separate drinking annex at the rear. Food is confined to simple bar snacks. The pub was listed as an ACV in early 2019, whilst still closed.
