Reviews
Report
We recently moved to the area and had driven past the pub a few times, we were surprised to see that it said Thai food. We just had to try it, what a fantastic idea a traditional pub with a twist. We loved it! My partner and I now argue about how often is acceptable to visit! Better yet they even do takeaways for those nights when you fancy pjs and good food.
Real ales
Report
We have a wide range of real ales from a variety of sources that we offer. You will find that we change our range frequently and you will be able to keep track of it all here. 3.8% in strength and light in colour this beer has helped drive the success of cask ales in recent times. Should be served in a branded glass with sparkler on to give a creamy head, revealing a strong bitter aftertaste.

Report
A classic amber beer delivering a crisp, refreshing taste. With its light fragrance, lovely malt flavours and long hoppy after palate, Adnams Lighthouse shines through as another champion Beer From The Coast. Made with, you guessed it, Mosaic hops, this pale blonde has bags of personality with bold mango, peach, lemon and pine flavours and a dry hoppy finish.
Craft beers
Report
We have a wide range of craft beers for your enjoyment. If there is a particular craft beer you have come across elsewhere please feel free to ask us to stock it and we will do what we can. A classic lager that's exactly what it should be: easy-drinking, crisp and dry with beautiful bubbles. Clean and refreshing with a dry hop finish, you can taste the great depth of flavour which comes from the long, slow maturation in tank.
