Originally the building was used as the Chatteris Labour Exchange. Mr. Stuart Stacey converted the premises into its present use in 1976, creating the first free house in Chatteris. Stuart named the pub after his father. This unusual and unique name was given to Stuart's father by an auctioneer at the local market, because of his reputation of making a realistic bid. We have been in residence since 1987 and our restaurant opened in May 1990. Our aim is simple - to offer a large variety of traditional cask conditioned ales and a comprehensive and reasonably priced menu, in comfortable, friendly surroundings.Our speciality is our home cooked traditional food, such as Steak and mushroom pie. Also proving popular has been our range of steamed puddings, Treacle Sponge and Jam Roly Poly.
