Quinno _ left this review about Anne of Cleves
As noted below, this C.14 building was given to Anne of Cleeves as part of her divorce settlement from Henry VIII. It certainly looks the part and it's quite nice inside with a wood and glass room divider and some classic beams. Unfortunately it's really food oriented and it was close to impossible to find a spare seat; the substantial walled rear garden was a better bet. Four Everards on, three stagers plus a limited edition ale in Carnival which was in good shape (NBSS 3.5) and the place is GBG listed. A place to absolutely check out if you've not done the town before but I suspect I'd likely swerve it next time unless I was planning on eating. 6.5

A second attempt to visit this historic pub was thwarted yet again. The pub was closed to the general public on my Saturday afternoon visit, instead hosting what looked to be a wake. Peering through the windows, we could see lots of people dressed up mostly drinking wine, with a picture of somebody on a table. On checking their Facebook page, sure enough they had advised everybody that the pub would be closed on this day. Hopefully I will get to visit it one day and it will be third time lucky.
Original visit (August 2020):
Still closed following lockdown and believed to be in search of new owners.

Open on our visit - Aug 2021.
Ancient building - with a blue plaque marking it as given to Thomas Cromwell. On his execution, it was given to Anne of Cleves in the divorce settlement from Henry VIII.
Kind of plays on the history inside - with swords on the wall and portrait art work.
Lovely beer garden.
They are still doing table service here. Beers on were Everards (I believe its a tied house) and Castle Rock. The Elsie Mo was that good, I had a couple.
As a tourist in the area with little experience of the other pubs in town - I would say this is the most appealing traditional pub in town.
