Crafted Drinks, Poured with Purpose

Our bar is all about good drinks that go hand-in-hand with great food. Think local ales full of character, wines that stand up to hearty dishes, and spirits poured just right, from a crisp G&T to a smooth whisky nightcap. Nothing flashy, just well-chosen, well-poured, and always worth raising a glass to.

Outside Dining

There’s something quietly magical about eating outdoors when it’s done right. Our gardens are simple with stunning views of the common, with wooden tables that catch the sun and gentle floral scents on the breeze. It’s a space that hums with conversation and ease, perfect for a chilled glass of wine or a pint that’s just hit the spot. The food tastes better here, not because it’s different, but because the moment slows down long enough for you to notice it.

A Sunday Tradition

The Sunday carvery, a British classic, reimagined with a playful nod. Roasted meats, crunchy spuds, Yorkshires puffed like proud old hats, and seasonal veg with just the right bite. All drenched in rich, glossy gravy. It’s a hug from history — comforting, familiar, and just refined enough to keep things interesting. A proper Sunday, done right
