Built in 1790, this was the village's only tavern for over 210 years, during the First World War, to show support to their country, St. David's Tavern did not sell alcohol on Mondays, lasting from 1914-1918. During the Second World War, it was the only building on Little Stoke Road, to have survived from bombing attacks. In 1945, a wake was held at this tavern for Stokes United player Tommy Robbins, who's son Kenneth was later the landlord, for over 40 years, until his retirement in 1999. In 2001, due to a Health Inspector's visit, the tavern was closed, after which a petition was set up by the residents of the village, a committee meeting was held in the local town hall and protesters fought to keep the pub opened, though it did not seem to change much and the pub was never re-opened again. Due to a Building Inspector visiting the tavern in 2006, to find that homeless people were now using it as a shelter, he reported this to Stokes Parish Council and it was soon demolished.
