        Selected with visitors in mind.


1. PRINCE ALBERT: Hampton Rd. near The Green. Fuller's beers. Victorian (1847) pub with a friendly atmosphere, originally called The Star Brewry. Garden at rear. Lunch time and evening meals. Under the stewardship of the Wiffen tenants in the 1970's the Prince Albert maintained its beer dispense hand pumps when other pubs around were losing theirs.

3. POPE'S GROTO: Cross Deep. Young's beers. Roomy bar now part of an hotel. At one time was called the Grotto Tavern. Original pub on the site in 1853 was destroyed by a bomb in 1944. Meals lunch time and evenings.

4.THE GEORGE: King St. Coaching inn. First recorded in 1737 and at one time known as the George and Dragon. The old court yard is now a patio. First floor panelling has a preservation order. Unfortunately "modernisation" has not been in keeping with its coaching inn status.
