Inside

Gin, frescoes and a story below stairs

This former gin palace keeps an original gin booth and grand wall frescoes at its heart. The cellar’s old prison cells are part of the pub’s history, and staff have shown visitors around when time allows. On the bar, expect cask classics, modern craft beers and an expanding gin range.
