Our menu is a mix of classic crowd pleasers and regularly changing seasonal dishes, which means you'll always find something to tempt your taste buds (even if you're in every day!).We are a pub, not a cocktail bar and while we make a blinding Bloody Mary, and will happily mix you an Aperol Spritz or Negroni, we don't do Pina Coladas.

The wine list has been chosen to provide a simple but high quality selection that goes as well with our food as it does with some good company.

The food is excellent - really tasty and perfectly proportioned. Service was also brilliant - good relaxed atmosphere. The menu is heavy on meat and then fish but there is just about enough for a veggie in the party - would heartily recommend.

Tasty food, good prices, nice atmosphere. We went for a Sunday roast with my family and sat at the upper floor which was more quiet. The service was great and the food and wine was very nice.
