Join Us Today
After more than 20 years working in the the customer service industry, and with a genuine passion for good food, sports, and beer, we finally decided to take a big leap and open our own place in 2025. It was a risk, but one we believed in wholeheartedly.
Since then, it’s been a real adventure – long hours, hard work, and plenty of challenges along the way. But every single day, we head home with a smile on our faces, proud of what we’re building and grateful for everyone who supports us.
Supporting local is at the heart of what we do. All of our fresh ingredients come from a nearby farm shop, if it doesn't rear or grow it themselves, they source produce from farmers within a 20-mile radius. Fresh deliveries arrive every week, allowing us to cook everything from scratch and serve food we truly stand behind.
Our menu reflects who we are – a mix of classic English favourites, European influences, and a few dishes inspired by South America. It’s comfort food with character, made with care.
We welcome everyone who wants to pop in, relax, and enjoy great food, good drinks, and a friendly atmosphere.
And of course, we’re proudly dog-friendly – because your best friend deserves to join you too! 🐾
