🌮 Mexican Night
🍔 Burger Night
🍽️ Sunday Roast

Plus seasonal specials and your own dishes as the menu develops.

The idea is simple: good, honest, homemade pub food that is tasty, consistent, affordable and keeps people coming back.

We’re not looking for complicated fine dining. We want someone who understands what works in a local pub and can deliver it consistently.
