The Roebuck dates back to at least 1788 when it was a brewhouse known simply as the Buck. It was rebuilt around the turn of the 19th/20th centuries, giving us a substantial building with considerable external character, and reamed as the Roebuck. The latest refurbishment gives the main two rooms a classy look, very much a flagship Holts pub. The walls are adorned with historic photos and there is fake ivy at the top of the pillars. It remains popular for both drink and food. The food is much improved in both range and quality. Drinkers may prefer the Vault to the right hand side of the main bar. Meals may be had in a dining room to the rear or in the main saloon; both are very much "family-friendly" areas. Sundays are particularly busy days for meals. There is still a bowling green behind the pub (there used to be two), and the upstairs function room, complete with hammer beam roof, still gives some idea of how the ground floor rooms used to look.
