Late 17th century pub, renamed in May 2019 despite a petition against the change. Much-extended and modernised, the original portion of the building is identified by the four-centred arch windows. As recently as the 1960s a caged real bear was kept in addition to a menagerie of other smaller animals and birds. The pub's history is not reflected in any of the decor, which is modern and rather corporate. Large and multi-roomed, there are TV screens in most areas, though there is a TV-free zone albeit with few tables. Although family-friendly, there is a child-free area.
