About the Pub

Previously a bank, this pub opened in 1997 and consists of a single large oval bar with an upstairs gallery seating area. The former manager's offices to the rear are used as function rooms. A war memorial, thought to the the only one actually in a public house, commemorates the bank staff who died in the Great War. The building dates back to 1893 and part of its is built on a Roman basilica that was incorporated into the walls of the strong room.
