We pride ourselves on good homemade pub food some being your old classics like beer battered cod, chips and mushy peas, a hearty steak from a local butcher cooked to perfection with your choice of potatoes and seasonal vegetables or salad or a homemade hearty Pie of the week (Which is even more popular on a Monday during our pie night) to meals with a more continental twist like our ever popular Mediterranean Mixed Seafood Stew, Moussaka, or a sharing platter of melted mini brie cheese, cured meats olives sundried tomatoes and pickled onions. We run a carvery on a Wednesday lunchtime 12 noon till 2pm at only £5.25 and a Sunday carvery 12 noon till 5pm for £8.00 or £9.00. Of course you will need something to have along side that lovely food well we have you covered there as well with 5 gest ales on tap 2 of which are rolling guest ales if you like to try something new, 3 lagers, Guinness, 1 new world pale ale and 3 ciders all at competitive prices from £2.85 a pint to £3.30 we also have a wide range of all spirits, soft drinks and have a large wine list and gin menu.
