A real warren of a pub with multiple small rooms. The one to the right as you enter had a real coal fire roaring away on my visit. This is a typical Sam Smiths pub with a real mix of clientele and packed at 5:45 on a Friday evening. I'm not a great fan of Sams only real ale Old Brewery Bitter, so I just had a half of the keg Dark Mild at a ridiculous 67p. I quite liked this one, but it's not for the faint hearted.

Sam Smiths pub with a traditional interior. The pub is well kept and a good few drinkers in, on our mid week, afternoon visit. The pub is bigger than I expected, once through the doors. To our surprise there is a large lounge, on the far left with its own bar. This a very comfortable pub and has a good upbeat atmosphere to it.

Situated next to the historic market building, this rambling old hotel is now part of the Sam Smiths empire and has an interior that has merited inclusiuon on the CAMRA inventory of unspoilt pub innards although it should be noted that some of the interior walls were actually reinstated during a major refurbishment in 2002 so it's not all original. A series of rooms radiate from the main bar all quaintly dated in style and ambience. The prices are also rather old fashioned as long as you don't mind the infamous Sam Smith product range. There are plenty of old pictures to transport your mind back in time including a 1900 picture of the building itself showoing how little anything has changed, apart from the new open air smokers terrace that is. Well worth popping in for the experience although it will generally appeal more to us more mature drinkers.
