Attractive Grade II listed building, set well back from the road. Parts of the building date back to the 18th century, when it was built to capitalize on the iron water spring found in the area, hence the pub's name. The interior was opened out a number of years ago but retains some pleasant spaces opening off the main bar. One of these spaces has some fine floor tiles and a handsome cast-iron fireplace. This friendly pub serves the local community and beyond, having an ample car park and being only a few minutes walk from the city centre. The small beer garden at the front is a popular place in summer from which to watch the world go by. Under new management from July 2020.
