And just like that… summer is over. ☀️

We’ve survived another busy summer season, and before we all put our feet up for approximately five minutes, we wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who has visited us over the past few months.

Whether you’ve been in for a coffee, dinner, drinks, a takeaway, one of our events, or simply to escape the children for an hour… thank you! 😂

A huge thank you also goes to our brilliant team, who have worked their socks off throughout the summer. There have been busy days and very busy, but they’ve smashed it. ❤️

We’re incredibly grateful for all the support, the lovely reviews, the recommendations, and everyone who keeps coming back through our doors.

But don’t worry, we’re not disappearing for the winter just yet…

We’ve already got a few ideas brewing, with new events, some winter favourites and possibly a menu change or two on the horizon. 👀

So, as the flip flops get packed away and the summer crowds head home, we’ll be here keeping the grill burning, the drinks flowing and the food coming.

Thank you for an incredible summer! We’ll see you over winter! ❤️

As the summer holidays draw to a close, we’re winding things down ever so slightly and reducing our opening hours.

We’ve also got a couple of private functions coming up, so we’ll be closing early on a couple of days - and closing completely for one very important reason…

A well-deserved end-of-summer staff party! 🍻

After surviving the summer rush, we think the team have earned a night off (and probably a few drinks 👀).

Please check our updated opening hours before heading down, and thank you for bearing with us while we give the team a little time to recover, celebrate and remember what life is like outside the restaurant!

Summer may be over, but we’ll still be here serving up the good stuff all through autumn and winter. ❤️
