1891 occupation

Try this from the 1891 census.  I can read "house" and "coffee" but not much else.  Can anyone decipher it, please?

It's Drypool, Sculcoates. (Hull)

Look for Walter Joules aged 0

I *think* it's something Weigh(er/t) ? + Refreshment House

There's a "Sophia" further down the page with a very similar "S" at the start of the word

Newspapers tell me that the first bit is "Sworn Weigher". Charles Joules was a weigher for the Corporation.
