THE LITTLE PUB WITH THE BIG GARDEN

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 music, 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 brands and an interesting choice of wines.
 

Our accommodation features three charming double en-suite B&B rooms, the largest also being convertible to a family suite if required.

JAZZ ON SUNDAY

KING TUT TRIO & MAMA TOKUS

The King TUT Trio invites Mama Tokus to a marriage of soul-jazz and mod mayhem.  You'll get soulful improvisations, unexpected interpretations, electric keyboard grooves and some hard-funkin' fun too.

Listen out for some spoken word in the mix, as Mama riffs verbally over the improvisations of her jazzbros.

THE KING TUT TRIO ARE:

TOM UNWIN - piano man.  All this was his idea.

MARCUS VERGETTE - bonkers double-bassman.

RIC BYER - more bonkers drummer.  Doesn't wear shoes.

with . . .  MAMA TOKUS - extreme vocaliser.

 FREE, donations welcome.
