Food with a backbone. Pints with a point.

Good to know before you order

Allergies & ingredients

Tell the team before ordering. We cook with nuts, gluten and dairy in a small kitchen, but we will always explain what can be adapted.

Children & dogs

Little portions are available every day. Dogs are welcome throughout the pub; water bowls live by both fires.

Groups

For tables of eight or more we serve a shorter sharing menu. Call ahead and we will talk through the options.
