See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

A short walk from the town centre, this 400-year old family-friendly if somewhat quirky pub is designed like a ship with bars on both floors. The narrow street frontage and bar area belie its tardis-like interior with many nooks, crannies and separate drinking areas, including the Wreck Bar upstairs. Heavily themed on piratical/nautical lines, the pub is festooned with original salvage from local wrecks to give added interest to a rambling old maze of rooms on the two floors, worth a few minutes' exploration. The single guest beer is available all year. It varies and is from mainly local breweries.
