See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

Dating from 1622, this is the former abode of Randle Holme, Mayor of Chester before the Civil War (four generations of his family worked as Chester Heralds and historians in the 17th Century). The attractive black and white timbered exterior leads into an underwhelming, basically furnished, dimly-lit, low-beamed lounge with banquette alcove seating. A partitioned side room features paintings of monarchy.
