THE LITTLE PUB WITH THE BIG GARDEN!
Dear customers, friends, neighbours and browsers,
From Tuesday 27th July, we will be open TUESDAY TO SUNDAY, 3.30 TO 10.30pm
(like everywhere, we are short-staffed so please forgive us if we can't always achieve this!).
Due to the lifting of some restrictions we have resumed normal bar service. For the safety and comfort of staff and customers we still ask that people don't stand inside and drink and don't stand at the bar unless there to order, so please pay and collect your drinks at the bar, then take a seat. The one-way system is no longer in operation and you can move about freely, however please be aware and respectful of staff and other customers when doing so. Masks are welcome when moving around, but not compulsory.
LIVE MUSIC has not resumed as yet due to our space restrictions inside. There may be occasional impromptu music in the garden.
As usual, customers are welcome to bring take-away, we have pizza, chinese and indian outlets all within a few hundred yards.
We look forward to seeing you.
Kathy, Rob, Jo and the team
We are a visitor friendly locals’ pub - traditional without being old-fashioned. People gather here for exceptional real ale, great cider, lively chat and so much more, including live jazz, folk sessions, jam sessions, singer-songwriter sessions, book clubs, poetry groups, our community fundraiser quiz nights and even a bit of crafting (check out Purl and a Pint).
We have one of the biggest all-weather gardens in the area, a great place to enjoy the sunshine and have a drink with the family (dogs on leads welcome). We love local product (check our our CAMRA Good Beer Guide listing) and have an increasingly local selection of ciders, lagers & spirits as well as premium lagers and interesting wines.
Our accommodation features three charming double en-suite B&B rooms, the largest also being convertible to a family suite if required.
