About the Pub
Micropub just outside the town centre in a former shop. Named after the owner's cat which died exactly four years before the pub's opening date of 4th November 2014. The high-ceilinged room retains its original beams. High tables, bench seats and stools provide the seating, The walls are adorned with modern art and guitars, the bay windows with hops. There is a temperature-controlled cellar room, the Beer Tent, from which beers and cider are dispensed by gravity. There is always a pale/light ale, a copper type ale and a stronger one, as well as local ciders, including fruit-flavoured ones. Old Hector is a regular house beer brewed exclusively for the pub by Four Candles. Wines, champagne, Prosecco, mead, soft drinks, tea, coffee and pub snacks are also offered.
