See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

Previously known as The Saracen's Head, this pub was rebuilt in 1904 to the designs of architect Stockdale Harrison. It is a listed building, and described as "a very well detailed example of the vernacular revival style" with a "glazed brick plinth and steeply pitched Swithland slate roof". It has had several refurbishments over the years; and in 1995 was converted by Everards to an 'Irish' style pub called 'Molly O'Grady's'. After a major refurbishment, it was reopened with its current name in May 2017. The interior has been rebuilt in clean modern decor: the front part facing Hotel Street is now a restaurant; and the public bar is at the rear. A 'Boutique hotel' is planned for the upper floors. A new patio has been built at the back facing a new square.
