That 'just one after work' is now even more appealing. Join us Monday to Friday, from 4pm–7pm, for £8 spritzes. Aperol, Limoncello, Hugo Spritzes and more. Crisp, refreshing and dangerously easy to say yes to. Emails can wait till tomorrow.

Think all the hearty comfort of your usual Sunday pub ritual, just a little kinder on the wallet. Round up the family, nurse the night before or settle in for a full Sunday session.

The Final Chapter, A New Beginning

As we take one last look at the place we've called home, we're reminded of the countless memories made within these walls. Every scratch, every dent, and every imperfection tells a story that we'll never forget.

It's bittersweet to see these walls bare, but we're raising a glass to the unforgettable moments made in this old wood and mismatched leather. From the quiet Monday Pints to the wildest Saturday nights, you made this place what it is.

The old look is saying goodbye, but the heart and soul of this pub remain. ---

What's Next:

A New Chapter: Modern comforts, same classic atmosphere.
Preserving History: We're keeping the bits you love most.
The Big Reveal: Stay tuned for behind-the-scenes updates!

We're trading the "worn-in" for the "brand-new," and we can't wait to welcome you back to make new memories.

Cheers to the past, and here's to the future! 🍻✨

The taps are off and the doors are shut... for now! We’re officially closed for a massive refurbishment. 🛠️✨
​We’re trading the dust for some serious upgrades to bring you a brand-new look and an even better atmosphere. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been brewing behind the scenes!

​See you on the other side! 🍻
