About this space

A freehouse pub and events venue defined by a cavernous interior centred on wood-burning fires.

Design: The interior is formed of exposed stone and dark timber across interconnected, high‑ceilinged rooms that create separate seating zones.

Features: Multiple indoor seating zones and front and rear outdoor terraces provide flexible layouts for dining or standing receptions. A PA system and in-house speakers support live music and guest DJs. Wheelchair access, accessible toilets, Wi‑Fi and a dedicated dance floor are available.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a lively, music-led social evening that combines seated dining and standing socialising.

What sets it apart: An on-site bakery supplies artisan breads used across the venue's menu.

What guests say: The venue's atmosphere is cosy and congenial, and its event spaces adapt well to live music and changing conditions.
