Two bar 16th century inn that once had stabling for 20 horses. Originally a butchers shop. In 1537 the owner is recorded as making mead for his workers. The ale business grew until it became an ale house which is the oldest in the Old Town. In one of the two bars there is an original fireplace that has some medieval graffiti in it. Believed to be haunted. Good pub food is available in the bars including good value Sunday Lunch. Outside is a recently renovated patio garden.
