What a fantastic Bank Holiday weekend we had! ☀️🍻
A huge thank you to everyone who came down and supported us — it was amazing to see the place so busy and full of great atmosphere all weekend.

Our new outdoor furniture has already been going down really well and has made the garden feel even more welcoming and comfortable. Add in the lovely flowers blooming around the garden and it’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy these later sunny evenings with a pint, cocktail, or a nice cold drink outside 🌸🍹☀️

And don’t forget… Street Food Night is tomorrow night! 🌮🍔🔥
We’ll have all the street food favourites available along with a few popular dishes from our normal menu too, so there’s something for everyone.

We’ve still got a few spaces available, so get yourselves booked in and come enjoy another great evening with us — good food, great atmosphere, drinks flowing, and hopefully more sunshine! 😍🍻
