The Pineapple had that name until 1974. was then renamed The Colonies with an American colonial theme, but half a century later as attitudes changed, reverted to The Pineapple. It's a comfortable, split level pub with an extensive back courtyard garden leading to Castle Lane. Some interesting prints are displayed on the panelled walls. A large food menu includes sandwiches. This pub can become busy during early weekday evenings with a clientèle of largely local civil servants and other office workers.
