Years ago this area would have been known as a select with a smoky log fire (about 10 years ago just a supersir calor gas fire) carpets on the floor and a screened partition so as not to offend the ladies viewing men imbibing. When a previous incumbent decided to paint the back bar and back bar black!!, remove the carpets, remove the bench seating and the screen some of the atmosphere was lost.

However we have restored the log fire, albeit a cast iron type, installed bench seating, stripped the black paint away to reveal the beautiful wood underneath and restyled the back bar but alas the carpet and the screen stay away as they would no longer be practical.
