Description
The Cellar Bar is a former pilchard-pressing fish cellar with lofts above, now functioning as a restaurant. It dates from the early 19th century. The building features a rubble ground floor and slate hanging on stud work for the upper floors, topped with grouted scantle slate roofs. There is a brick axial stack towards the rear of the roof on the left side. The structure has an L-shaped plan and stands three storeys high.
The inner front of the right-hand wing has a three-window range, showcasing original 12-pane hornless sash windows on the second floor, while the other windows are 20th-century casements with glazing bars. The inner left-hand return includes a shallow, partly weatherboarded two-storey lean-to. The outer elevation of the left-hand wing presents a four-window range with windows on the upper floors only, all of which are original 12-pane hornless sashes.
Inside, the building retains the original beam sockets for a pilchard-pressing floor. The Cellar Bar is noted for being a substantially complete example of an early 19th-century house with a slate-hung front, and it is a rare surviving structure associated with the once-thriving pilchard fishing industry.
