Fine Town-centre pub with terracotta facade. Note the Wm Tong & Son (Brewers who built the pub in 1901) in the stonework. The inside has been opened up to form a large room served by a central bar. There are many seating areas as well as an area with a pool table. The outside 'beer garden' and smoking area is a pleasant oasis (especially in the summer months)where one can escape the hustle and bustle of the shoppers on the busy pedestrian street at the front of the pub. Children are welcome until 7pm each day and live music every Friday and Saturday from 8pm. Warm pies are available throughout the day.
