Standing in the centre of town on what was once the crossroads of the A25 and A23, this listed building dates from 1902. The pub's original name of the Wheatsheaf is still to be seen at the top of the building, and on the gable ends the name of the original owner, Nalder & Collyer, is proudly displayed. It became the non-brewing Firlot & Firkin in 1997 and when this chain stopped in 2001, it was named O'Neill's, a fake Irish bar. It is now a more traditional and comfortable pub in a modern style, with bare boards and square tables. The ground floor has TVs showing sport and there is a small outside area at the back mainly used by smokers. Upstairs there is a good restaurant service authentic Chinese and South Asian dishes as well as more traditional pub fare. A good number of dishes are vegan. Both the pub and the upstairs restaurant are available for functions. Usually only one real ale is available.
