Built in 1854 and designed probably by Thomas Pocock. In 2001, the pub was expanded into the shop next door and there is a wide gap linking the two parts. There are four other doors, indicating that there were originally five separate spaces and, remarkably, two full screens and some short ones still survive. The late 19th-century bar counter has a panelled front which, in recent years, has been rubbed down to the bare wood. The bar-back has some vestiges of the original. The top section has a broken pediment, as does part of the lower section, but there is much modern work.

Located on a corner of Portobello Road, this Young’s pub is at the heart of the present-day market and attracts many visitors as well as being patronised by locals. The pavement tables are particularly in demand on Saturdays and during the summer months.

The food offering includes pies and classic pub mains, and Sunday roasts. Two cask ales from the Young's stable are available.
