Well, that’s our first month done, and what a month it’s been!

We couldn’t have asked for more. While our kitchen was refurbished, fantastic food vans supplemented our offering. We launched our own pizzas and charcuterie boards to fill the gap, and finally reopened the kitchen last Sunday.

There have been plenty of improvements and finishing touches. As we said, it’s a journey. Thank you for joining us on it. It’s been amazing.

Our roasts are back on Sundays, so don’t miss out!

Ok, so we know you’re reading this and you’ve most probably just woken up and the last thing you want to think about is wine…

However…

We have a new wine specials menu (for a limited time only) from this evening. It’s a fantastic range if we say so ourselves! We obviously had to try them first!!

We would love your feedback.

So when you get to the end of the day, feel like you need a little pick me up, here’s your excuse to pop in and see us! 😉🍷🍾

Excited to see Sunday Roasts return?

Well here is the menu ready for tomorrow.

Sunday's menu is slightly different to the rest of the week - which we will share with you after we've had our first shift!

Many tables have already been booked, so we highly recommend you book if you're planning to come in to avoid disappointment.

Also please note, our restaurant is NOT ready just yet. But we are still able to serve in the bar area and outside.

Looking forward to seeing you!

It’s the news we’ve been waiting to share…

Our kitchen is reopening this Sunday! 😁

We will have a Sunday menu on including chicken, beef and pork roasts, with some pub classics from 12-8pm.

Then from Monday onwards we will have a pub classics menu with the option for generous size portions.

Our restaurant is still undergoing some work, so we recommend you book to avoid disappointment as our spaces are limited to the bar and outside areas only. We hope the restaurant will be open in a couple of weeks from now.

See you soon! 😁
