what's on

In accordance with Government guidelines to reduce the immediate spread of the coronavirus the pub is now open for doorstep off-sales only, and therefore all upcoming events have been cancelled.

To arrange a take-home of 2 or more pints of ale please phone 01728 664178. Off sales are available from 10am til 10pm most days.

We hope to be able to update this page soon with news and ideas on what to do during these difficult times. Watch this space! We fully intend to be able to fulfil our roles as Landlord and Landlady within this wonderful community to the best of our ability during this period of closure, and to re-open our doors as soon as we are advised to do so. Please stay in touch! To be kept up to date with happenings and news please join our mailing list. Thank you for your ongoing support. Marie & Mark
