We serve local real ales & craft beers, wine and a specialist gin and whisky selection and delicious coffee.

Dogs are welcome, 'paws on the floors' please.
Children welcome, we have a kids menu.

Delicious food but took over an hour to arrive and they didn’t apologise- maybe they were short of staff? Also the pear and rhubarb fritters were very disappointing- you couldn’t taste the fruit. I usually love it here just a bit of a letdown today.

One meal great, one okay and the fish finger sandwich greasy and too much sauce so not enjoyed. We wanted a pudding but gave up waiting after not being given a menu or spoken to after 30 mins wait after main course cleared. Love the ambience and drink selection (although both chosen beers from the menu were not on) but the food has been a bit hit and miss lately. Regular customers but probably won’t go back for a while.
