A distinctive Art Deco pub bearing Whitbread livery at the north end of the town’s promenade that is now a Grade II listed building. Although the style is very much 1930s, it was in fact built in 1948 as a showpiecepub for local brewery Lacons. The road at the side is Jellicoe Way, suggesting a First World War naval theme, HMS Iron Duke having been Jellicoe’s flagship at Jutland.
