Welcome to “The REX” Est. 1865

“The oldest bar on the road”

The Rex it’s easy to find… it’s where the tourist bus stops

We are the oldest bar on the road really worth a visit jam packed with characters.

As we’ve been around for so long we even have our own ghost. The spookiness doesn’t stop there as you can jump of the bus and claim your half pint of Guinness as a tourist. Honest

The Rex has bucket loads of character and even a beer garden to view some of the murals (better on a sunny day)

So that you can contextualise your visit here’s a guide to just what was happening in 1865 …
• The American Civil War ends
• Mendel’s laws of genetics published
• The periodic Table of elements published
• The Football Association formed
• Pre Raphaelite Brotherhood painting in Victorian Britain
• The first pint poured in the Rex

Surprising Attractions include… Top Pub Grub upstairs at really good prices
