We take great pride in the quality of the products we sell, and are proud to say this has resulted in our consistent inclusion in CAMRA’s Real Ale Quality Accreditation scheme. We place a strong emphasis on supporting local businesses and stocking local products so expect a varied and changing selection alongside the staples.

We serve fresh pizza throughout the night direct from our friends at Origano and will strive to cater to all dietary requirements.

We also host a regular, and free to enter, pub quiz led by the legendary Dr Paul each Wednesday evening at 6pm. Aside from being a brilliant evening, there’s a booze voucher and a rollover cash jackpot to be won!

If you’d like some mind-blowing tricks with your pint we have weekly close up magic every Thursday courtesy of our resident magician Tim Licata.
