Description:

This is an old coaching inn of great antiquity, and was the last Island pub to have no bar counter (service was from a corner of the bar), before this interesting feature disappeared with successive refurbishments, although there are still many authentic features such as old beams and flagstones. In recent years it has undergone a major rebuild, which has vastly increased its size. The children’s room is actually the old courtyard and the far side of the bar was once the shop next door. The pub opens at 7:30 for breakfasts, and the outdoor area consists of tables and chairs in the pedestrian precinct for that alfresco dining experience.
