This building was originally a boarding school in 1792 but has been a pub for a lot longer, and was joined with the Bulls Head in Moor Street in the 1960s, but it seems that entrance is no longer used. There is some nice wood panelling in that part of the pub. This is a popular place for food at lunchtime, with about thirty or forty people in by the time I got served with my simple half of Black Sheep Best after 12:30. The server was working flat out, taking orders, pouring drinks and carrying plates of food from the dumb waiter to tables. My beer was not very good, but with non-specific faults that I would have had trouble explaining even if I had the undivided attention of someone knowledgeable about cask beer. £2.80 for a half of beer that barely scrapes NBSS 2 is the price we pay for calling in to random pubs. I left my drink unfinished.

Sat off Fenwick Street on the Old Ropery, the Cornmarket is easily missed by those not in the know. The entrance opens into a bar area with a wooden floor that looks like it’s been smothered in a tar like resin, black and shiny. To the right past a short beer shelf with stools is a door to an enclosed square patio with café seating that is looked over by adjacent office blocks. Back inside, the long serving counter runs up the right-hand wall, standard and premium keg products were available alongside TT Boltmaker and Black Sheep from the two hand pumps. At the far end of the bar is a carvery counter that was empty during my recent Monday afternoon visit. To the left of the entrance is a carpeted lounge cum study with a mix of tables and period seating, including red leather sofas and armchairs. An impressive fireplace with burner is found in the middle of an equally impressive panelled wall up the left and at the rear, on the other side of a central staircase is some more seating, including green leather high backed booths up the left and a piano against the rear wall. The central stairs lead down to ill-maintained toilets with no soap and up to an area that was out of bounds. At the rear of the bar a door opens into another bar where a short L-shaped serving counter sits on the wall to the right. In here are brown leather banquettes and booths, I think at busy times this acts as a dining area. The pub was very quiet and the service was dismissive, I think the barman would have rather been elsewhere. This certainly feels like an historic pub, and it is worth a look, but I think it needs a little TLC, and a more interesting draught selection.

A pub with a pleasant and classy interior however the beer range is pedestrian and I settled for a Black Sheep Bitter, not really my thing but well kept all the same, worth a look but wouldn't be on my repeat list.
