TRADE AREAS
Entrance via double doors on the ground floor into the trading areas which are all arranged around a central servery which has counters to two areas. The MAIN BAR has board effect floor, part vaulted and heavily beamed ceiling, counter from central bar servery with carved, ornate panel frontage and exposed stone walls. A feature of this area is the WELL which is covered with a 1.5m2 glass top and utilised as a bar table. This room would seat approximately 22 customers.

One of these rooms has a fireplace which has a stone flagged hearth and beam lintel. These two interconnecting DINING AREAS could seat approximately 36 diners when organised correctly.
Off the main bar is also a GAMES ROOM featuring beamed ceilings, carpeted floors, emulsioned stone walls and space for a pool table and a darts throw, seating to drinking shelves to walls and poser tables for approximately 16-20 customers.
