2nd of the GBG pubs in town.
This would be my local if l lived there.
Full of charm and rooms, hanging off other rooms.
Bustling on a Sunday Lunch - food looked great, Sunday Newspapers and roaring fires.
What more could you want?

This is clearly quite an old pub. It consists of several small rooms with a small bar counter in the middle. Wooden floorboards and beams sum the place up. It was quiet on my Friday midday visit with a few people in for food.
The bar has five hand pumps which sadly just had a fairly mainstream selection of Pedigree, Adnam's Mosaic, Oakham JHB, Doom Bore and Woodforde's Flagondry.
I went for the Mosaic (£3.75) which on a hot day was a bit on the warm side but not a disaster.
I think that this place would be better on a cold winter's day when the open fires are lit. Despite that it's a nice old pub and well worth a look. It's GBG 2015 listed.

A multi roomed pub selling a fair range of real ale but nothing outstanding. I was in there today at lunchtime but unlike 2011 I was the only one in there. Lacks any atmosphere.

A not bad town centre pub just off the market square. Busy enough on a Saturday lunctime. 5 real ales were available, including Woodfordes Wherry which was fine. Food limited to the usual pub grub type fayre.
We didn't have time to seek out any more town centre pubs; I'm sure there must be a better one nearby. Average.

Good staff, only a limited selection of beers and real ales but prices are good compared to most pubs in the area. Good music events.
