Part of the brewery and now the brewery tap, this popular lunchtime venue was once used for lemonade manufacture and soft drinks bottling. The décor, after a two month closure for renovation in Spring 2016, is now modernist. Part of the renovation now includes a large eye-level bottle cooler, enabling customers to see and choose from the extensive range of bottled beers. Old brewery tools are scattered around. The beer is always in good condition (as is to be expected). No music or intrusive fruit machines. The bar is a moderately hilly 300m walk from the bus and railway stations.
