About the Pub
An ever popular small, multi-roomed drinking bar with no music and no games machines. An airy conservatory behind the main bar leads out to a pretty garden. Bar snacks include scotch eggs and pasties that are all cooked on the premises. Always very popular and in the summertime many visitors head into the garden or squeeze onto the patio. During the week when it is quieter, customers can order in food from local food vendors and plates and crockery is provided. Occasional quiz nights, barbques and live music sessions for worthy causes, especially during the warmer months. Make sure to take time to explore the enamel signs and other artifacts scattered around the walls. No children under 16 allowed. No 2 or 75 bus from town centre. Now regularly stocks four or five real ciders. Beer selection usually peaks on a Friday eve (with up to 18 available) and then drops back to about half that during early week days.
