About this space

Our pub's interior combines countryside style with modern touches – there are wood panelling, polished floors, and neutral furnishings. The main dining room is an open space with lots of seating. Despite its size, it can still be suited to smaller groups, as well – it's all about the set-up. Tiffany-style lamps all over the ceiling give the dining area a soft glow.

A separate bar room works well for pre-dinner drinks or socialising with a glass in hand. Both areas are available for private hire.

Some additional features:
- a selection of real ales, spirits, wines, and gins
- free Wi‑Fi
- dog-friendly access in the bar
- attentive service
