What is it?
Probably Salisbury's oldest tavern, on a corner of Minster Street, a stone's throw from the market square. Downstairs is a historic bar of dark wood with tiny corners, listed in CAMRA's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors; upstairs is a restaurant with enormous oak beams, which the house says came from old ships. It is said to be the most haunted pub in the city.
What is there to eat?
Pub cooking with game dishes, as the name suggests. What justifies the visit is the place itself: having a drink in the bar downstairs is part of visiting Salisbury.
When to go
The website does not publish opening hours: to eat upstairs, call and book. For a drink, go in the middle of the afternoon, before dinner time.
What to order: a pint in the bar downstairs and, if you eat, some game in the dining room upstairs.
