☕ Happy National Coffee Day! ☕

Today, Tuesday 29th September, is the perfect excuse to treat yourself to a coffee! 🤎

What’s your coffee of choice?

And if coffee isn’t your cup of tea… 🫖 don’t worry, we have plenty of other delicious options too!

Come and enjoy a cosy coffee (or tea!) with us in our pub or tearoom. We’d love to see you! 💕
