A pub since the 1740s the pub was acquired by Adnam’s in 1994 and respectfully renovated by them. Wells & Co are the current owners of the building but independently run by husband-and-wife team Hayley & Steve Pellegrini since Dec 2023. They also run The Portland Arms, The Alex and Hudson’s Ale House in the city.

The pub offers a great selection of the brewery’s own beers, plus guest beers from local breweries.
Originally two buildings, they have been combined to give a number of separate drinking areas over two floors, including a downstairs snug and upper floor with original beamed ceilings.

To the rear is a suntrap garden next to the mound of the long-gone castle. Excellent food served every session, including a wide selection of specials.

We are dog friendly and love to see your dogs so bring them along!
