About the Pub
Nowadays the bar, with its decorative Victorian bar-back, is located in the narrow central space between two other distinctive drinking areas. There are several impressive brewery mirrors and others advertising various drinks. The pub is popular with the legal profession and the snug drinking area on the left is known as the Wig Box.
The pub is run by the redoutable Rxy Beaujolais - the Alewife For the Ages, as a pub critic has called her. The very well regarded food is a result of her management. The pub's own website contains much greater details on the pub's history and Roxy's.
The interior features classic film posters and caricatures with a legal theme. Its beer range includes guest beers from smaller brewers. The comforting gastro-fare menu changes daily and will satisfy meat-eaters and vegetarians alike. Note that toilets are only accessible via steep stairs, a relic of the old Elizabethan house the inn once was.
Another feature of the pub was the resident pub cat who was called 'Peabody' following the demise of 'Ray Brown', the latter pictured RIP proudly wearing his legal ruff. The cat Peabody is, alas, no more. The new cat was called 'Clement Attlee', a fine and more robust specimen, but objects to wearing the ruff. We don't blame him. During the Covid shutdown the cat Clement Attlee was taken home by one of the Bar staff and now lives with them . A new cat has settled in named General and appears to have no problem wearing the Ruffle and loves wandering round visiting the customers
