Run by the Hoskins family, this city centre pub with a 1930s interior, including an original oak staircase, has two rooms with tiled and parquet floors and a central bar. The interior features photos of the former Queens Hotel which was across the road, this pub in the 1930s, and the former Hoskins Brewery. A function room is available to hire. Handy for the nearby Curve Theatre. Hoskins' beers are brewed under contract by a local microbrewery, and apart from the two regular ales, there are usually 2 or 3 other Hoskins' beers available. Cobs, pies and sausage rolls are often available.
