To all our customers,

This week Sudbury Road is closed from 8pm - 6am until Saturday 27th June.
Therefore we have taken the decision to alter our food service times today & tomorrow evening (Wed & Thurs).
We will be open all day for drinks as usual and our lunch service will stay the same (12pm-2pm) however our evening food service will start at the earlier time of 5pm and finish at 7pm, allowing access to leave the village before the road closes at 8pm.

We appreciate your understanding in this situation. We will update again tomorrow to advise food service hours for Friday and Saturday this week.

Thanks again,

Bev & team x

‼️🚨 Keep small businesses going🚨‼️

Do you want to back your favourite venue, help your high street and support local jobs? Then sign this petition to lower the rate of VAT for hospitality to 10%.

Our pubs, restaurants, cafes, hotels, nightclubs and many more, are at the heart of our communities.

They bring people together and bring life to our cities, towns and villages, but they're under huge pressure from rising costs.

In the UK, you pay one of the highest VAT rates in Europe. 20% extra in VAT for your meal out or stay away. In France, Spain and Italy, it's 10%. In Germany? 7%.

Our message to Government is simple. Let's stand together to say VAT at 10% is fair for hospitality.
