About the Pub
This was a hotel (the Unicorn) up to 1918 and then became the British Legion, the date 1696 is prominent above the main entrance. A few years ago the declining membership decided on a rebrand and rename to reflect modern times. Despite its club name it does function as a public house and is used by all ages. Its location right in the centre of town and with a taxi rank outside makes it popular with the older members of the community. A pool room is to be found to the right of the main entrance with a long lounge to the left the bar is some way back in the middle of the building a large function room is to be found to the rear and upstairs there are small rooms which can be used for meeting and further pool and snooker tables. Pictures, paintings and other wall furnishings reflecting the clubs military associated heritage are prominent throughout. Wood and uneven flooring are prominent throughout. The club has been shortlisted for a GBG entry a few times but with sometimes only one ale on and the odd poor quality pint reported has been marked down.
