The Slug And Lettuce Restaurant

The Slug and Lettuce Restaurant, formerly the Phoenix Inn, is a public house, now a restaurant, dating to 1847, with a later addition. The building is constructed of colourwashed brick with tile roofing, largely in a fishscale pattern, slate to the addition, and brick end and cross-axial stacks. It is two storeys high, with a three-window range and a lower two-window range to the left. The design is in a Georgian style, featuring a top modillioned brick cornice and coped gables with kneelers. The right-of-centre entrance is round-headed, with an architrave and fanlight containing radial glazing bars over a four-panel door. A late 19th-century shop front is located at the left end, featuring a frieze, consoled cornice, stop-chamfered mullions and transoms to blocked windows and an entrance. Two round-headed windows on the ground floor have sills and sash windows with glazing bars, radial to the heads. First-floor windows have sills and rubbed brick flat arches over twelve-pane sashes. The addition has an entrance to the right with a shaped frieze and cornice, an overlight, and a six-panel door; its windows have sills and rusticated wedge lintels, with a key to the ground-floor window, and a twelve-pane sash. A narrow window above the entrance is blocked. The rear elevation has a pointed window over 20th-century additions.
