Ample outdoor space accompanies a spacious interior, offering a retreat filled with floral adornments and cozy seating. The menu, a tribute to quintessential pub fare with a twist, delights the senses with dishes like the indulgent cider-battered haddock and vibrant hake with samphire.

Amid the jovial echoes of garden parties and birthday celebrations, one finds joy underpinned by genuine hospitality, breathing life into this community staple that remains at once familiar and eternally enticing. — Jasper Griddle
