The pub, which is owned by Mitchells & Butlers,[3] was named Campaign for Real Ale's branch Pub of the Year in 2016.[4]
In 2019, the pub was refurbished, including the addition of a roof terrace and an improvement to the pub's Chapel Street Brew House microbrewing facility,[4] which was started in 2014.[5] It is housed in the building's old coaching sheds.[6]
Today's building was completed in 1907,[6] replacing an earlier structure which was oriented facing Chapel Street. Nicholas Charnock was the first landlord of the new construction.[7]
The pub is one of 32 buildings in the town's Conservation Area.[8]
