Business as usual!!

We are pleased to announce the burst pipe in the village has been repaired and we are open from 12-11pm today!

The restaurant will be serving food from 12-8pm not forgetting its steak night 🥩😉

The bar is open from 12-11pm! And it's quiz night from 8pm!

There are still some road closure signs but you can gain access through the village from both sides, they are continuing to work today to sustain the water pressure but the water is back on!!

Many thanks for your cooperation and apologies for any tables that had to be cancelled yesterday.

⭐️ We're feeling the love! ⭐️

We've had some absolutely fantastic 5 ⭐ Tripadvisor reviews over the past few weeks, and we couldn't be prouder of Nic, Mark and our amazing team. Our friendly service and welcoming atmosphere to those stunning countryside views and, of course, the food... it's all getting some wonderful mentions.

And yes... our Cheese Pie gets some mentions! 🧀🥧❤️

If it's been a while since you visited our little pub on the hill, why not see what everyone's talking about? Check out our Tripadvisor reviews, or even better... book a table and come and experience it for yourself.

🏆 And we're officially back in the Top 5 restaurants in Blackburn on Tripadvisor! (Just saying... 😉)

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave us a review, it really does mean the world to us. ❤️
