Airy, square single-bar corner pub with a handsome ceiling and pillar and a wonderful four arched, mirrored, wooden bar-back. Now under Brunning & Price management with two keg beers and some unusual bottled beers plus the real ale; interesting and varied menu. TV may be on for Six Nations Rugby but not for football. Up a rather long back staircase is a separate dining room.
The pub became the Royal Gardener during the 1970s and early 1980s, then the Slug & Lettuce, then Page, before reverting to its original 1846 name.
