A pub for quality time. A stopping place. Somewhere to slow down, unwind and sip wine with friends and family. Meet, eat, drink and chat.

So, the menu? Legendary pub classics, with delightfully fresh modern twists, naughty nibbles to mighty mains. An anthology of expertly crafted cask ales adorn the bar, juggling with expertly distilled gins, velvety reds, crisp whites and soft pinks.

Take Sundays slowly, with a resplendent spread brought to you from fields and farms across the country. Meats roasted low, perfectly paired with seasonal veg are at the heart of our ‘Slow Sundays’ which celebrates the flavours, family and friends with that long-standing tradition, the Sunday Roast.

But we’re not always about taking it slow. Less time to spare? Pop in for a week day lunch or a quiet moment with a pint or even a coffee. We are dog friendly in our bar areas only. 

After all, this is your local, for time on your terms.

We had booked a table for 1.00pm but arrived 30mins early and the staff were happy to accommodate us. Ryan - our server was pleasant and helpful. When food was ordered it came promptly and both meals were well presented and hot. Very enjoyable. All the staff were very attentive and everyone around us seemed to have the same fantastic experience that we did. We will definitely come again.

Polite, smiley and welcoming staff. Fire lit which looked lovely. Laura R showed us to our table and took a drinks order, coming back to take our food order, very accommodating ref my gluten free options and another minor request. Food well presented, served hot and fresh. Also we gad a voucher to use which made the meals extremely good value

We were pleasantly surprised at our visit for Sunday lunch. A nice variety of meals available. We had a voucher to use, which made the meals good value and we were pleased we used the offer to try the restaurant here for the first time.

Had 3 kids meals and 2 adults. Kids meals very good value for money and they all enjoyed it. Adult meals was the kebabs maybe some coleslaw or a side salad with the kebab and chips would have made it better value but very tasty and cooked well. Good selection of drinks at a reasonable price. Would definitely go again if in the area.

Jodie & Will = top class service. Couldn't ask for anything more when being on holiday somewhere new with my little girl. Bartender absolute top class something you would expect in a big city and the waitress always keeping the guests happy with a smile makes for the experience I woild genuinely come back for. Both an absolute equal credit to the pub. Couldn't recommend this place enough
