Refurbished and reopened by J D Wetherspoon in April 2014. This grade II listed building is one of the towns three remaining 18th century coaching inns. Large and comfortable, the beers include the usual Spoon's range plus occasional guests. Note that, contrary to tradition, outward facing pumpclips doesnt necessarily indicate that those beers are currently available - pumpclips arent turned round once beer sells out so there are often fewer cask beers on than it might appear. The upper floors are an hotel with 10 rooms, while the station is just five minutes walk away.
