A very old commercial hotel, once just outside the city walls, now just outside the ring road. ring road. Rebuilt in 1861, it appears at first glance to have just a single bar. However there is also a separate dining room, and a large function room with skittle alley, plus a further skittle alley upstairs and a small yard for smokers. Team games, which include quoits in summer, are the lifeblood of this pub. Home prepared pub grub is served lunchtimes.
