Description

The Pam-Pam Restaurant consists of two buildings constructed in the 18th century, featuring painted stucco exteriors and slate roofs behind parapets. Both buildings are three stories tall. The left building has four bays and a red brick stack at the right end, with a cornice that was renewed in the late 20th century. The upper floors have four-pane sash windows, arranged in groups of three, with one narrower window to the right. The first floor had three windows as of 1977. The late 20th century shop fronts include blind boxes and dentil cornices supported by heavy scroll brackets, with four four-pane sashes on the left and three plate glass windows on the right, along with a recessed entry.

The right building has a lower parapet and a hipped roof to the right, with a brick stack on the right side. It features a two-story oriel window with 2-4-2-pane glazing on the upper floors to the left, and four tripartite 2-4-2-pane sash windows on the ground floor to the left and all three floors to the right, all dating from the late 20th century. There are moulded timber cornices over the ground floor windows and a 19th century cast iron plaque that reads 'High Street'. The side wall facing Quay Hill has a four-pane sash window on each floor to the right and a parapet. The rear wing, which is set back, is believed to be the remains of a late medieval house with stone rubble walls, although it has been altered since 1977. The Quay Hill facade includes four-pane sashes on the first and second floors, and a lean-to ground floor with a slate roof, door, and louvred overlight. Behind Plantagenet House, the gable end features a large rectangular rubble stone chimney, small rectangular openings on either side on the upper floors, and steps leading up to a doorway that is visible from the rear of Tudor Merchant's House.

The interiors have all been renovated since 1977, with inserted pine beams. The thick walls noted in 1977 remain, but the panelled doors have been removed. The right building was thought to be an older structure that has also been renovated, but it retains a small stone fireplace in the rear wall with a stone lintel.
