At over 200 years old, this is probably Waterloo's most famous pub. A former coaching inn and listed as being of specific historic and architectural interest. However, some years ago, it was subject to a demolition order but, fortunately, a petition signed by some 1,400 patrons preserved it to this say. The main dining area is to the rear as is the large beer garden, where the wall is surprisingly effective in limiting the intrusion of nearby traffic.
