About the Pub

Built in 1936/37, part of the Home Brewery 'Coronation buildings'. The pub was for many years a shop, although it has also been a barbers. Having being empty for 2 years the building was converted into Arnold's first micro-pub. Windows at the front and the rear gives the pub a light and airy feel and the bar fittings appropriately were made by Gaskell and Chambers in 1937. The name reflects the 'Coronation/Abdication' of King Edward VIII. A real fire keeps the chills at bay. Look for the grandfather clock now behind the bar. The four microbrewery beers are ever changing with always a mix of light, dark and anything in between and usually featuring two Locales. Similarly there are between two and four ciders plus four craft lines. A monthly quiz encourages friendship as a raffle ticket on entry is used to allocate teams. Occasional beers brewed on an 80 litre nano-brewery so you may find a new beer on the bar. Note: Closed first two weeks of January every year.
