☀️ Heatwave Update ☀️

With temperatures soaring today, we've made the decision to give our kitchen team a few hours off before they end up on the specials board. 🍳👨‍🍳

So the pub will be closed until 4:00 PM today while the chefs seek shade, cold drinks, and possibly a paddling pool. 🏖️🍦

We'll be back open as normal from 4:00pm ready with cold pints, warm welcomes, and hopefully chefs that are still medium-rare rather than well done. 🍺🔥

Thanks for understanding with us. Stay cool, and we'll see you later!
