The building that houses the Black Market Venue and brewery has been in continuous use selling ales for just shy of 100 years, but current owner Dave Drury took over in 2007 and was keen to promote real ale from the local area. In 2015 Black Market Brewery was established with the first beer, Illicit, going on sale in January 2016. This 4.3% citrus pale ale remains the flagship brew from the 2.5 barrel plant located in the basement with other seasonal beers available and a guest beer can be found on the 3 handpulls in the bar. The venue is also host to the well established 500 capacity live music venue which feature 2 stages with live music most weekends. All rooms are on one level and wheel chair accessible there is no disabled toilet facility. Sunday acoustic music afternoons twice monthly 5.30 to 9.00pm. Quiz every Sunday. Darts, dominoes Monday evening, Tuesday is pool and snooker night. Dog friendly in the bar area.
