In the light of the government announcement of March 20th, all pubs are now closed until further notice.
However, a number of pubs are providing takeaway food and/or drinks during the lockdown. Some offer deliveries, while others are selling from the premises. This page lists details of those we know about.
If you can give any of our pubs some support through these terrible times by buying some takeaway food or drink, please do so. Our pubs need as much support of possible if they're going to still be there for us when the crisis is over.

An earlier thatched pub was burnt down and replaced with a brick building, which is now used as an office.
The Wherry is recorded in licensing records as late as 1967 (the most recent we've found) so closed since then, possibly in the early 1970s.
It's also listed as Quay Street and at The Quay (in 1891).
The pub is shown (though not named) on this old OS map from about the end of the 19th century. larger map
