Re-opening this Spring and it's back as a pub after a brief stint as a seafood restaurant.
Previous iterations have included the Henry Potts and prior to that the Big Hand Alehouse but, in all guises, despite being tastefully furnished and well-operated in what is an interesting building, it's mysteriously never been a true success. Most folk point to it being the wrong side of the inner ring-road which serves as an invisible glass wall precluding crucial footfall.
Let's hope this latest incarnation finally smashes the glass wall.
