Previously a Blubeckers restaurant it has since had a complete makeover and reopened under its new name in 2014 and now a popular and friendly Brunning and Price Free House opposite the palace gates that draws locals and tourists alike. The main feature as you enter is the wrought iron spiral staircase to the restaurant area (also accessible via normal stairs). Food is also served downstairs with a comprehensive food menu available, bar snacks listed on a chalk board. Cask beers change frequently and there is an extensive range of wine, whisky, rum and gin. Walls are covered with old pictures and the wood floor is partially covered with rugs under the tables. A real log fire in the bar area is lit during colder months. Outside tables at the front and a side semi-covered courtyard space. There are no distracting TV screens to spoil the pub atmosphere. Due to the physical limitations of the building, they cannot accommodate prams or have wheelchair accessible facilities.
