Originally a grocer’s but a licensed premises since 1841, this Grade II-listed pub combines traditional features, such as wood panelling and flooring and an original arched-window frontage, with contemporary murals by local artists, a dumbwaiter disguised as the TARDIS, and knitted caps on its handpulls. Popular with students and university staff, and NHS workers from the next door hospital, with student and NHS discounts available on some drinks, the pub serves between three and five cask beers, usually from local breweries, Quiz night is on Wednesdays, and there are occasional comedy nights. Selected sporting events are shown on a pull-down screen at the back of the pub. As well as a seating area at the front of the pub, there is a small rear garden. Food has in the past been provided by a series of pop-up kitchens, which are now becoming longer-term guest caterers.
