The Admiral Lord Rodney is a homely, charming little pub, full of character and out of the way of the hustle and bustle of the town centre.

It provides a good selection of ales (see our beers section) and good hearty homemade food is always available (see our food menu section for a sample menu).

There is a variety of changing entertainment (see the events section) and has a local pool team and recently formed ladies darts team!

Children are welcome untill 9pm and also dogs (kept on a lead). We have a good selection of spitits and wines and for the whisky lovers, over twelve types of malt whisky's!

At the Lord Rodney there is something for everyone and we give a warm welcome to customers old and new, so pay us a visit soon!

Below is a brief history of the pub and surrounding area which we hope you enjoy

The Admiral Lord Rodney can be traced back as early as 1822 when it was owned by John Whitaker. It was one of four pubs in the area, the Robin Hood, the Old Duke and the Jolly Sailors. They have long since been demolished and the Lord Rodney is the sole survivor.

Old Waterside was known as wapping to the locals and the Wapping pash was celebrated every year and the Rodney always played a leading part in the fun and festivities. There is a brief history on our dartroom wall of the wapping pash which is very interesting to locals and newcomers alike.
