World Gin Day is here!

What better way to celebrate than with a refreshing Hugo G&T in the sunshine? ☀️

Our Hugo G&T combines Plymouth Gin, elderflower cordial, Mediterranean tonic and fresh lemon for a light, floral twist on a classic favourite.

And if Hugo isn’t your thing, we’ve got a fantastic selection of gins to suit every taste – from classic London dry styles to fruity, floral and botanical-infused favourites. Whether you prefer something crisp and citrusy, bursting with berries, or packed with fragrant botanicals, there’s a perfect G&T waiting for you.

🌧️ What’s happened to the weather?! 🌧️

If you’re busy shower-dodging today, we’ve got just the shelter you need.

Take refuge in our cosy pub, or if you fancy some fresh air, our pretty garden is partially covered to keep the rain off while you relax. ☔🍻

Why not settle in with a perfectly poured pint of Young’s London Original and one of our delicious homemade sausage rolls? The ideal combination for a grey day.

Whether you’re escaping the drizzle, catching up with friends, or simply looking for a warm and welcoming spot to spend an hour or two, our doors are open and the kettle (and beer taps!) are ready.

🍺 Two beers. Two completely different personalities. One proper pub. 🍺

Whether you’re after something light and refreshing or dark and full of character, we’ve got you covered at the bar this week.

🌊 Golden Gull Blonde Ale from Adnams – a crisp, easy-drinking blonde ale with a gentle malt sweetness and a clean, refreshing finish. Perfect for those who like their beer bright, balanced and sessionable.

🌑 Totty Pot Dark Porter from Cheddar Ales – rich, smooth and packed with roasted malt flavours. Expect notes of coffee, dark chocolate and a satisfying depth that lingers long after the last sip.

Two cask ales. Two completely different journeys. Both absolutely delicious.

That’s what a proper pub is all about – something for every taste, poured fresh and enjoyed in good company.

Which side are you on: golden and refreshing or dark and comforting?
