🔥 WELCOME TO THE COOKHOUSE AT THE GRIFFINS HEAD 🔥
This is where we do things a little differently…

Our Cookhouse, BBQ & smoker bring proper live-fire cooking to The Griffins Head — smoke, flame, slow-cooked meats and big flavours, all cooked right here.

Perfect for our Smoke & Tapas nights, summer BBQs, private parties and special events. 🍖🔥
And if you’re planning your own celebration, The Cookhouse can be part of your private event too — a brilliant option for a relaxed, al fresco feast with friends, family or colleagues.

🍽️ SUNDAYS ARE FOR SHARING… 🥩

Our Sharing Roasts at The Griffins Head are made for getting everyone around the table.
Generous cuts of beautifully roasted meats, pigs in blankets, crispy roasties, Yorkshire puddings, seasonal vegetables and plenty of proper gravy — all served up for the table to tuck into together. 😍

And a little heads-up… our Sundays are getting busy! Tables regularly book up, so if you’re planning a Sunday lunch with us, we strongly recommend booking ahead rather than leaving it until the day.
