The food we produce is often locally sourced and suited to seasonal vegetables and dishes that you will always enjoy! The building itself is from the 14th century which can be seen in the many features: from exposed wooden beams and large open fires to slightly uneven staircases! The pub was first licensed in 1704 and we aim to continue providing a great local pub experience for visitors, whether local or from afar.
