The pub is set within the town walls between the marina and castle. This historic town, a World Heritage Site, is well worth a visit, ending with a welcome pint at the Black Boy. The public bar and small lounge are warmed by roaring fires. A varied menu is served either in the two bars or the restaurant and a good range of guest beer. There is a drinking area outside on the traffic-free street. A former local CAMRA Pub of the Year award winner.
