This pub originally opened in 1997 as a Yates Wine Lodge. In May 2009 it was leased by JD Wetherspoon and converted into the Robert Ransome. This closed in July 2017 and the building reopened in August, once again as a Yates. The ground-floor bar is popular all day. The upstairs bar is open until very late Friday & Saturday, when loud music and dancing dominate.
