Wonderful old building. A sprawling multi roomed pub operated by Sam Smiths. I had an excellent pint of OBB. The rear garden is a real sun trap. Well worth a visit.

Remains as was from my previous visit in 2017. Quite a relaxed Sunday atmosphere, with a couple doing a jigsaw in the front room. Still no OBB, so a pint of keg Dark Mild did for me which was pleasant.
July 2017
Very impressive looking (half-timbered Tudor three storey building) and obviously aged from the outside, this multi-room Sam's outlet has obviously been refurbed recently and although done sympathetically it did feel quite ‘new’. A quasi-gentlemen’s club feel inside with a large (if characterless) courtyard beer garden. The usual plethora of Tadcaster labelled produce including cask OBB (in so-so nick). To the rear is a large barren courtyard. It’s a decent addition to a Gloucester crawl for the novelty value. Rated 7

Ticks all the Sam Smith’s boxes proper old style pub multi roomed & an outdoor seating area. A must visit if in area.
