Outdoor tables and chairs in the summer provide the ideal place to watch the world go by. It's popular on Friday & Saturday evenings and extremely handy for the Town Hall, Corn Exchange or theatre visits. Food (12-6). Children are welcome until 7.30pm.
Take a moment to admire the unusual and attractive pub sign.
