The unique name refers to an Anglo-French free trade agreement signed in 1860. The tall, narrow building is close to High Street's notorious level crossing and has an unusual barrel-vaulted ceiling towards the rear of the bar area. New customers are often surprised to find the beer garden. Guest beers are from the brewery's monthly list, and two real ciders are served. The pub is popular with football fans on match days. Totally renovated in 2017. Bar snacks served throughout opening times. Full menu catering for large weekday parties by arrangement.
