Imposing stone built pub dating from 1668, situated amid new housing estates. Named after the naval hero, there is a plaque by the front door detailing his career and a small plaster statue above the entrance. The interior has low wooden beams, and with plenty of dark wood and flogged floors, there is a very traditional feel about the place. While the pub has been opened out, there are several distinct drinking areas, served from a long bar across the back of the pub. A large real fire dominates one end of the room. There is a wide food menu, for which the pub is gaining a growing reputation. Pizzas are the house specialty - also available to take away. Usually only the one real ale is available, but an occasional guest may be served. Single bar interior with separate drinking areas.
