A few of the faces you’ll find behind the bar this weekend.

You’re in good hands. They’ve done this before.

Every bar has a story. Ours started with changing a lightbulb. Somewhere along the way, Petit Filous got involved.

Batch 01 | Halcyon Days
A little taste of the good old days. Just don’t expect them to taste quite the same.

We’ve been hiding behind this door for quite some time. Figured it was probably time to open it.

The rest is best discovered in person.

Batch 01 | Halcyon days
A fancy way of saying the good old days.

Our first menu is a trip through British nostalgia. Irn-Bru, Vimto, Petit Filous, Buckfast, apple pie, strawberries & cream and a few questionable trips to the pub.
Remembered fondly, reworked irresponsibly.

Looking forward to showing you all what we’ve been up to…
