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.
