The Castiglione family, who have run this city centre pub for over 30 years, bought the freehold from Punch Taverns in 2009. It has since become a showcase for quality beers which won Vincent the Branch's first Real Ale Champion award in 2010. Up to sixteen beers on offer including local breweries. The interior comprises two rooms either side of the bar plus a large upstairs function room. A pleasant sun-trap patio also provides covered space for smokers. Food focuses on home-cooked Italian dishes.
