About the Pub
Access from street problematic for wheelchairs. Current owners have installed new managers.
Historic Interest
In 1874 this pub was the Bull Fair House then Bull & Fairhouse, becoming Friar Tuck's in the 1980s. It then became O'Donoghues, Irish themed with a focus on the music. This was followed by a reversion to the Bull & Fairhouse, tied to Great Heck Brewery. In early Summer 2018 it reopened as the Polka Hop with connections to morris dancing.
