About us

Reports in Oct 2016 say that Holts Bitter is once again for sale, albeit intermittently. As of June 2015, the pub is for sale, so its long term future is uncertain. Situated by a busy crossroads, it was originally built as an hotel, there has been a hostelry on this site since 1824. Renamed from the Hare & Hounds when the adjacent Vernon Park opened in 1858. A central bar serves a Vault (with pool table) and the larger Lounge area. A quiet and welcoming pub that becomes busy and lively when the locals arrive to watch live sport on the four TV screens. Lunches 12-4 (12-6 Sat/Sun), evening meals are 4-7 Mon-Fri only. History: A change of ownership in Feb 2013 saw the end of the sale of Holts Bitter in favour of a new range; later still in 2015 cask ale was sadly removed altogether.

Nice enough for one on the way — but it’s fairly rough around the edges

I'd not been in for a long time but made very welcome

Me and a mate randomly ended up in the park last night. It's one of the friendliest pubs I've been too in a long time. The bar staff are lovely and the punters are up for a good laugh and also just really open. It was the karaoke night on the Friday. I love watching people having a go, this definitely added to the atmosphere. Wish it were my local, will definitely return when I can.

Nice friendly pub but Ross the bar tender is a bit of a prick!

Always a warm welcome whether you are a regular or first timer, good for family in the day, and brilliant for a proper grown-up drink later on. During the winter they have a roaring coal fire and in the summer months the beergarden is a great place to chill. You will not get a better pint of Amstal or Morretti anywhere else( I have made a survey) Absolutely worth a visit Thu/Fri/Sat as there is always some form of entertainment on. Cracking pub.
