We're a family run pub and serve real ale, fine wines, and anything else you could wish for - with a big friendly smile. We're also an official stamping point on the C2C route. Unwind in the main bar or toast your toes next to the fire on a cold day after you've been w

alking in the local beautiful countryside. We serve local and fresh food in our bar and restaurant. If you have a four legged friend they are more than welcome in the bar with well behaved owners ;-)

If you choose to stay with us, we can offer you Bed & Breakfast in our newly refurbished rooms. Parking is ample. Whatever your need, we hope you'll visit and relax with us soon.

Our fish fry-day will no longer be available with a free pint unfortunately. As many of you will know the price of fish has gone through the roof, along with everything else.
Our price of fish has doubled in price this last 6 months.
So it is with great sadness and regret that we can no longer offer you a free pint.
We still hope to see you for your fish and chips as we havent put the price of the fish up, just taken the free pint off. Im sure lots of you will understand.

Be honest… you don’t need an occasion for cake, do you? 😄🎂

Our friend Dawn has been our go to family cake maker for years. It’s safe to say, we’ve done our fair share of “quality control” over the years and she never misses 👌

From celebration cakes to treat boxes, everything’s spot on every time

If you’ve got something coming up (or just fancy treating yourself) make sure you put an order in

Give her page a follow and show some support for a brilliant local business 💛

No judgement here if it’s a cake order “just because”… 👀🍰
