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.

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!
