We never grow tired of watching the sun go down.
What makes it more enjoyable, is sharing them with you.

Good Evening Everyone,

There has been a lovely response to Steve's memorial this coming Monday at the pub.
Everyone is welcome to pop in and share their special memories amongst friends, to remember him by.

We will be open between 4 and 7 (later if desired) .
I have arranged fish platters from Dukes seafood in Mersea. There will be wine laid on.

It is a little tricky guessing numbers so hopefully there is enough food.
Seafood was Steve's favourite along with a good glass of Alborinio to wash it down with.

I appreciate this may be not to everyone's pallette so rest assured we'll get the fryers on for some chips etc.

We look forward to seeing you on Monday from 4pm .
For our Steve.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused during the week with regards to the phone lines and lack of broadband.

We have switched to fibre and we experienced every possible conundrum along the way.

Suffice to say we are now up and running and we have of course kept our same phone number.

For enquiries/bookings please call us on 01206 729307 where one of our team will be happy to assist.

Our email is also fully operational
