This pub was formerly the tap of the sizeable 1850-built "Balmoral Hotel." When it lost its hotel functions in 1946, the rooms were let out and the tap becoming the "Barmoral Bar." The Book and Gem shops next door were originally the hotel's dinning room while the public gardens opposite were the bar’s tea garden. It had a change of name in late 90’s and became a keg only pseudo-modern pub called "Bomber's". A change of ownership has seen the bar revert to its original name and real ale reintroduced. Now (2016) a vibrant Wine Bar with a secluded restaurant specialising in fish.

I would really like your help with any information or photographs regarding this house. Preferably historical facts, names of licensees and photographs. Every email is replied and anything added referenced to the supplier with thanks.

With my web getting larger and cover area increasingly more, and further from my home, I am becoming more reliant on local knowledge.
