Food You’ll Keep Coming Back For

Here’s just a flavour of what’s waiting for you...

Nibbles to Start

Proper pub nibbles — no sad bar snacks here.
Freshly baked sausage rolls (with a hint of black pudding), pork scratchings, house-pickled veg, and other good stuff to kick things off.


Ideal with a pint or while you wait for the rest of your gang.

Small Plates

Crafted to share (or not share at all).
From crispy ham hock croquettes to silky smoked salmon with pickled cucumber and horseradish crème fraiche — our small plates are bold, fresh, and made to mix and match.

Ideal for grazing over drinks or building your own tasting menu.

Fresh Seafood Dishes

Fresh, light and full of flavour.
From prawns with Marie Rose and crusty bread, to grilled mackerel with salad and potatoes — our seafood dishes are simple, honest and always delicious.

Lamb Rump with Summer Vegetable Fricassée

Succulent lamb rump, pan-seared to perfection and served over a medley of fresh summer vegetables in a silky, buttery fricassée.

Finished with a fragrant herb jus, it’s a dish that’s as comforting as it is elegant.

What people say about us...

Jan Staniforth

Popped in last week for lunch. Staff were very polite and friendly. My daughter inlaw and myself had the steak pie which was absolutely delicious ! My son had the burger and really enjoyed it. Would highly recommend . Can't wait for our next visit

June Taplin

The most amazing fabulous food. The best pie with the most meat I have ever seen in one, and I am in my 70's. Fish huge and beautifully cooked. Burgers delicious. Even the chips are some of the best I have ever had. Staff really friendly and helpful.

Lorraine Mason

Fabulous little gem this place! Had a meal with drinks as a family, brilliant end to our holiday week! Definitely would recommend the fillet steak! Oh and like everyone else says portions are plentiful. Thanks to the owners and staff, hopefully see you again next year! 👍
