A Taste of Tradition

Our chefs cook with passion and pride, serving food that’s all about bold simplicity and heart. Think homemade pies, juicy steaks, vibrant veg with real bite, and puddings that are as good to look at as they are to eat. For a taste of Italy, we even have a proper pizza oven turning out crisp, authentic slices.

This is honest food, made with care – often using produce from talented local suppliers. Nothing fancy, just done right.

And the drinks? Local brews with a story, wines picked for flavour not the label, and British spirits served with purpose. Cocktails bring a little flair – not flash – and always hit the right note. Pull up a chair and enjoy the kind of food and drink made to be shared, savoured, and remembered.

Crafted Drinks

At our pub, the drinks are chosen with as much care as the food. Local ales, perfectly kept and full of character. Crisp, coastal whites and robust reds that stand up to hearty dishes. A thoughtful gin and tonic, a warming whisky by the fire. Nothing flashy, just honest, well-balanced flavours that complement the food and reflect the land around you. The kind of drinks you remember, not because they shouted, but because they quietly belonged.

A Sunday Tradition

The Sunday roast, an age old British tradition, reimagined with a playful nod in our pub. Perfectly roasted meats, spuds with a satisfying crunch, Yorkshires puffed up like proud old hats, and seasonal veg with just the right bite. All bathed in chefs rich, glossy gravy. It’s a meal that feels like a hug from history, comforting, familiar, tasty, but done with just enough finesse to keep things interesting. A proper Sunday, done right.

The Den Private Dining

Tucked just above the bustle of the bar, the private dining room feels intimate, timeless, and gently worn in the best possible way. Soft light spills across the tables, with carefully chosen decor adding quiet charm. It’s the kind of space where stories unfold over slow-cooked dishes and good wine, where laughter lingers in the corners and meals stretch into moments you don’t want to end. A room made for company, warmth, and something special.
