Seriously good pub food
There’s nothing quite like the great British pub when it comes to food, and that’s what we’re all about. A place where proper pub classics meet indulgent flavours, and irresistible bar snacks pair perfectly with our drinks.
With traditional family favourites, small plates to keep the little ones happy and generous sharers to enjoy between friends, our menus are bursting with flavour and promises to satisfy any craving.
RAISING THE BAR
Our bar is fully stocked with the best selection of your favourite drinks! From world lagers to spirits, wines to cocktails and every tipple in-between.
Join us for a fleeting cocktail with a friend, a quiet pint at the bar, or celebrate the big occasion and start your weekend with high spirits. No matter what you fancy, we’ll have something to tickle your tastebuds every time.
GARDEN HAVEN
In the warmer months, soak up the rays in our large beer garden while the children enjoy the play area. And don’t worry, we haven’t forgot the dogs either. That’s right – our four-legged friends are welcome!
