Needed to be investigated, as it is so handsome. Built more or less into the town walls and next to the very narrow for SUVs Broad Gate. The irony, if you are in a Range Rover.
One other punter on a Friday lunch - an old boy in for his lunch.
The beer was the worst of the day - half of Timothy Taylor which smelt badly of vinegar.
I should have returned it. Instead of moaning online.
Possibly an off-day, or bad choice on my part.

UPDATE: As it was, which is nice - with no TV or music on. Dumped the dull Marstons beer for Wye Valley HPA, Butty Bach and a more than decent Timothy Taylor Landlord. Improved,
**************************************************
[July 2014} A pair of 18th century cottages that have been converted into a now Marston's pub at some stage, which is in a yellow rendered brick, and has a series of dormer windows. A nice looking place with a patio area. The interior is pretty much one straight room, partially divided up. The decor is stone and cream, with a red and beam ceiling. There are a couple of fireplaces and old prints are on the walls, with plates and other ephemera dotted about. There was no music and a small TV was showing the footy. There are a couple of dining areas, though you could eat anywhere in the pub. The service was very friendly and a few people were in. Beer; usual tap stuff with Burton Bridge Bitter and a decent Cockerhoop on handpull. Nice place, just lacks a little beer excitement for me - but definitely worth a pop in for one.

As described below with pics on their website, this is the first pub you encounter when entering from the south, driving over the bridge which straddles the Teme; it’s also nestled in the shadow of the magnificent 13th century Broad Gate tower.
Overall, this is a cosy place, carpeted, real fire and plenty of hanging brassware, with much exposed old stone and timbers, some modern light fixings looking a bit out of place. Customers were a resolutely older bunch, with a group from the Black Country then a couple from Liverpool, all seemingly staying in the guest rooms.
A dull ale selection manifested itself in the form of an unused pump, then Pedigree, Wainwright’s Golden Beer and Ringwood’s Razor Back (very cheap at £2.05 a half) and almost as vinegary as when Ian sampled it, served by a friendly barman.
This is a perfectly pleasant pub where I could happily spend some time, but it really needs to get its cask choice in order. To quote Ian Fleming: Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.
