Opened in July 2017, it is decorated in an Art Deco and cinematic style. Wetherspoon's spent three million pounds on the project converting two adjoining buildings, both having been cinemas at different times in the past. Two original projectors left on site are on display. Real ale is front and centre and the changing beers are varied and interesting, served from the twelve handpumps. As well as stocking the three usual JDW national ales, there are at least three varying guests sourced nationally from the JDW list and two or more are locally sourced. In recognition of this the pub was voted LocAle Pub of the Year in 2024 by the local CAMRA branch, a photo above shows manager Sonia receiving the award, as the pub entered the Good Beer Guide for the first time. One of the largest Wetherspoon's in the county, it has a variety of seating areas at different levels and at the top a large roof garden complete with tables, ash trays and overhead netting to ensure it is a herring gull free zone. There is a weekly quiz on Mondays, beer festivals and ‘meet the brewer’ events occur from time to time.
