We’re proud to serve elevated traditional British dishes, including home-reared beef from Great Ashley Farm, hearty sharing pies, and scrumptious vegan options, alongside impeccably maintained ales. Our drinks menu showcases a carefully curated selection of wines and spirits. We’re dedicated to creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere with pub classics and top-notch hospitality at the heart of everything we do.
