🍺 THIS WEEKEND AT THE PUB 🍺

TODAY 📸

We're celebrating Geoff Lawrence's photography exhibition. Geoff will be popping in to share the stories behind his stunning shots. Pair it with our delicious smorgasbord menu, plus a seafood special: pan fried bass. Come for the art, stay for the food.

TOMORROW 🔥
Week two of our BBQ is back, and we're launching Buddha bowls to the menu. First person to order one gets it FREE, if you're happy to model for our new menu promo shot.

As the sun goes down, our folk sessions return, traditional Irish and Scottish tunes to see the evening in right.

Good food, good music, good company. See you this weekend.

Also, someone left a rucksack
behind. Leo has taken quite a liking to it, but we'll prise it away when the owner comes back for it.
