About the Pub
Run by the Hoskins family, this city centre pub with a 1930s interior, including an original oak staircase, has two rooms with tiled and parquet floors and a central bar. The interior features photos of the former Queens Hotel which was across the road, this pub in the 1930s, and Hoskins Brewery. A function room is available to hire. Handy for the nearby Curve Theatre. Plans were under way in 2018 to brew on the premises before 2019
Historic Interest
Originally the QUEENS HOTEL, this corner pub was built in 1931 to replace a Victorian hotel on the adjacent corner. It has drainpipes with hop decoration. It was owned by Ansells, then after several years of neglect and deterioration, was acquired by Hoskins & Oldfield as their first tied house, opening as the ALE WAGON in September 1999.
