You’ve asked, and we’ve listened!

We cannot wait to share these exciting news..

A new guest ale is coming soon, and we know how much you all love it! Limited availability, so once it’s on do not wait, as it will be gone in no time 😏..

•Summer Lightning
Hopback brewery
Golden Ale
5% strength

A trendsetter in the brewing industry, the original summer ale brewed all year round. An extremely pleasant bitter, straw coloured beer with a terrific fresh, hoppy aroma. This, coupled with an intense bitterness, leads to an excellent long, dry finish.

Probably the beer to receive the most awards in Britain!

Keep an eye on our socials, we’ll let you know when it’s ready to go-the countdown begins! 🍻

It should be available over the next few days.

There’s also a new guest ale available for you to try as well:

•Golden Fiddle
Branscombe Brewery
Session Pale Ale
4% strength

This is a refreshing, light & effervescent ale featuring fruity aromas of citrus, peach, and grapefruit alongside subtle notes of butterscotch, finishing with a crisp, dry mouthfeel 🍺 🍋

Tempted? Come around, we will be happy to see your face!

What’s your favourite pub snack?

Ours is The Pork Crunch that’s has been recently added to our snack list 👏

At just £2, is the ultimate budget-friendly bar snack.

It delivers a lighter, airier bite than a traditional pork scratchings while keeping that satisfying, savoury crunch.

Packed with salty flavour, high in protein, and lovely kick of paprika seasoning, it is a brilliant low-carb treat that pairs well with a pint.

We would pair it with Black Country Ales Fireside bitter. Why?

•It cuts through fat: The sharp, crisp bitterness slices right through the richness of a pork crunch

•Balances the salt: The solid malt backbone of a traditional bitter acts as a perfect counterweight to the intense saltiness

•Cleanses the palate: The dry finish of a bitter refreshes your mouth, making every crunchy bite taste as good as the first

Give it a try next time you’re in, hope you will love it as much as we do! 🐷 🍻
