Whether you want a light bite or a hearty meal, choose from our great new menus, made from locally sourced produce whenever possible and designed to cater for a variety of tastes and appetites, all served by a friendly team. Our menus include starters, main courses, desserts, light bites for a smaller appetite, and a great coffee selection.

STAY
Our self-contained, purpose-built annexe houses six beautifully furnished and contemporary-styled bedrooms, each with their own en-suite facilities and brand-new king-sized beds, all with the flexibility to be reconfigured as twins to suit. Located discretely behind the Inn and designed to fit into the rural landscape, all our rooms have country views, some facing east over neighbouring farmland whilst others look out over our lovely garden. All rooms are now bookable on a bed and breakfast basis, with the option to book a table in the Inn for lunch or an evening meal. There's also two convenient EV Charge points available for patrons.
