This historic pub in the town centre was once a squire’s townhouse, hosting many a famous name in British naval history. It is a comfortable one-bar pub retaining much of its ancient charm with wooden floors except near the bar, and a roaring wood fire when it’s cool outside. There is a cosy side room off the bar with booths and a large dining room upstairs. There is also a snug with sofas for more private gatherings. No live entertainment, although there is usually some background music playing. Meals are available 1200-1430 & 1800-2100 daily. There are 6 letting rooms, one of which is en suite.
