This Grade II listed building was, until 1975, a branch of the Bank of England and then a Bristol & West Building Society office. After a period of time as a Fuller's pub, latterly one of their Ale & Pie establishments, the lease reverted to owners McMullens in early 2019 and the pub is now directly managed by them. The pub was give a refurbishment in early 2020 and, whereas the ornate high ceilings complete with chandeliers and the gallery beneath it were retained, the island bar was replaced with a modern metal work structure with similarly styled booths alongside. The rear courtyard now features a classic Routemaster bus, craned in during the McMullens refurb! The ale range is now entirely from the McMullen brewery, complimented by a menu offering typical pub grub. There are two function areas but occasionally the whole pub may be booked out so do check before making a special visit.
