Genuine old-fashioned community free house in an area with few pubs, to the south of the town centre but walkable from the station. Two guest beers are usually on, including some of the more unusual ales. A weekly quiz features, as does live music some weekends in what is known as the "Brig", a former air raid shelter rumoured to have once been a chapel of rest. It also stages a regular farmers' market. Food is limited to basic snacks. Families welcome in summer.
