This re-opened in 2011 with its original name as a Wetherspoon's pub following extensive refurbishment and side extension added, after having been closed in 2006. This rapidly became a popular town centre venue attracting a wide range of customers.
The layout of the pub forms an L-shape, with the overall interior being deceptively large but divided into various areas. The single long wooden bar has wooden flooring, with service only available in the front part. There is a small front area by the main entrance and a long partitioned side area running parallel to the bar. This leads into a larger room at the back with a fireplace and a mix of high and low seating. Carpeted throughout at the rear, this leads into another partitioned area at the back with floor-to-ceiling windows (and back entrance into Walters Yard) and a long room leading off to the left. Both areas are more geared up for dining with the kitchen adjacent. The smart décor has a mix of wooden panelling and half-panelling with white and gold coloured walls and ceilings, complete with architrave, along with framed prints displaying local history connections. A bronze model of a greyhound sits above the glass return hatch. The back entrance is handy for Sainsbury's.
There is a small enclosed area out front on the High Street for smoking, complete with tables and chairs.
The upper terrace for outside drinking is reached via a long flight of steps at the end of the long dining area. This consists of a variety of tables and chairs, some under cover, with an unrivalled view over the Sainsbury's car park. When open, this is obliged to close at 9 pm.
(Prior to 2006, this was called the "Townhouse")
