Food and Drink
Our locally unrivalled reputation for simple, rustic pub food has its roots in the quality and freshness of our produce. The theory being that cookery is easy if you select the finest ingredients and create simple quick to prepare dishes. Our menus change on a regular basis reflecting the changing seasons, availability and value. Our balanced main bar menu constantly maintains some of our favourite pub classics such as superb fresh fish and chips, tender and tasty steaks, lunch-time specials, healthy salads, vegetarian options, a children’s menu and great weekday offers. Please note prices are indicative and dishes are subject to availability.
Covid19 – Second Phase Reopening – Early September Onwards
A message to our customers.
Thank you for bearing with us during the first phase of our reopening. The feedback we’ve had has been generally excellent and we’ve achieved what we set out to do; reopen safely and create a fun summer ambience with great food and a varied drinks menu. Service has been occasionally sluggish (particularly during the discount period) and the technology we adopted has not always performed as well as we wished so we are grateful for your patience and courtesy.
The second phase of reopening is being adopted now as summer calms down, the discount scheme concludes, the kids go back to school and the weather becomes more autumnal. The key changes you will experience are:
- The reopening of the main pub bar as a ‘Quick Bar’ serving all the draught beers and ciders, all the house wines (those by the glass), some soft drinks and some spirits. Payment will be by debit or credit card only.
- There will be one or two tables available for drinkers inside, on a first come first served basis but we will continue to encourage drinkers to be seated at all times so for most that will mean taking your drinks outside.
- The rear garden and marquee will remain our dining space during this phase but we will be stopping ‘order on your phone’ and returning to waiters taking orders on your behalf. You will still get full table service and we will encourage you to order from our waiting staff and not use the inside bar. Payment will be by debit or credit card only.
- Drinkers wishing to order from a more extensive drinks list can use their phones in the front garden or take a table in the rear dining area (subject to availability).
- It is our view that the pandemic is some way from being under control so this relaxing of rules must be absorbed in the context of continued social distancing and frequent hand sanitizing. If you have any concerns please raise them with the management.
- All these changes will have been implemented by the second week of September.
Look out for news of our Third Phase Reopening where plans for autumn and winter will be revealed, in October.
Thank you
Ben & Team
