Our pub has a simple approach - to be the sort of pub we would love to go to ourselves. No loud music, no attitude, where everyone is welcome. Whether you live near by, work near by or have travelled from far afield you will be guaranteed a hearty 'hello' and welcomed to spend a few moments or the whole evening. Our only requirement of our guests is that they are nice and friendly. (Our licence requires one other thing, that you must be over 18 years of age). Come for a cosy time. Enjoy a drink, have some good honest grub, bring along some old friends and make some new ones. Relax and read the paper, play cards, challenge a group of strangers (sorry, 'friends you have yet to meet') to Monopoly or Cluedo or just sit back and enjoy people-watching. You won't be disappointed. Furry friends very welcome - the paw print on our new coat of arms isn't there by accident.....
