Food & Drink

From showcasing the best of the winter veggies, knocking-up plates of sharers (sharing not obligatory) and whipping up just-like-Mum-used-to-make classics, our clever kitchen team are cooking up seriously good food.

Pub Drinks

If you're looking for a well-cared for pint of ale, a decent lager, a soft drink with a bit of 'oomph' or some ah-that's-tasty seasonal cocktails - well, our team are always shaking up a storm.

Pizza the Action

If you're a fan of oozey-cheesy pizzas, then our hand-stretched little naughties are bound to scratch that itch. Crust us, you'll want a slice of the action.

Best Pub Food

From pub classics like crispy fish & chips and hearty pies, to our ludicrously cheesy woodfired pizzas, to our seasonal small plates – perfect for popping in the middle of the table and sharing with pals. Food is our passion and we blooming love it.

Sundays are special, and our roasts are too. Our chefs spend the whole week preparing to present you with a plate jam-packed with proper roasties, enormous Yorkies, succulent meats and all the trimmings you’d expect (plus extras)

Plus, we’re always taking advantage of seasonal ingredients, so you’ll be tucking into the freshest asparagus in Spring, the plumpest blackberries in Summer, dining on game-y goodness in Autumn, and enjoying the nourishing root veggies in the Winter.

 Whether you’re a local or a visitor, you’re welcome to join us in celebrating the joys of food & drink at our lovely pub.
