What would appear to be a small premise on the main street is in fact quite substantial. Toilets on the upstairs (I did not notice a lift). The place gets very busy at nights so get food orders in early. It has the same theme as most of the other establishments and the beer is good.

Originally two Victorian town houses, it has transformed over the years and is now a modern hotel/restaurant/bar boasting fine cuisine and drinks. It hosts a monthly "Meet the Brewer" night and is trialing "cask ale on the bar". Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
