Our Services
As a dog and children-friendly pub, we welcome cyclists, walkers, classic car and motorcycle enthusiasts alike. Our spacious green is the perfect spot to enjoy drinks and food with friends and family during the summer months. In August, we host an annual music and beer festival, with bands, food, and a wide selection of beers. During the winter, you can cosy up by our open log fire and enjoy a glass of mulled cider or wine, or choose from our extensive range of beers, wines, and spirits.
Our kitchen serves traditional pub food made to order, and we have a separate menu for Sundays, featuring delicious roasts. We also have a wine list, a selection of spirits, ales, lagers and local guest beers on tap, as well as freshly ground coffee and tea. We are proud to support local breweries and offer a range of guest beers that change regularly.
