Behind the bar, you’ll find plenty of draught beers, premium cocktails and a crafted wine menu – designed to complement the food.
There are some new faces at the pub too with new General Manager, Tracey Mears, at the helm, plus a new team of chefs cooking up a storm.

"As well as offering a great selection of drinks and delicious dishes on the menu, we’re a pub at the heart of its community – ready to host your next event, Christmas party or special occasion. We can’t wait to see you – whether you’re local to the pub or visiting from further afield."
