Have you tried our Dolphin ale yet?🍺🐬
A classic English session ale with real pedigree, originally brewed by Hardy & Hanson and now brewed in Suffolk by Greene King
At 3.9% ABV, Dolphin Ale pours a rich amber-tawny colour with balanced flavours of malt, toffee and subtle fruit, finished with a crisp herbal dry hop character! An easy drinking proper bitter🍺
If that didn’t win you over, we’re also serving this excellent quality pint for just £5 🍻 So come on down, give it a go!!

Sharp, zesty, and unapologetically bold💃🍋🟩 The Margarita brings together tequila, fresh lime, and triple sec and house made sugar syrup for that perfect hit of citrus and bite. Clean, refreshing, and made for good times that tend to run a little longer than planned 🤫

~ The Espresso Martini ~
It’s a classy classic! Cold, smooth, caffeinated chaos in a glass. The perfect way to enjoy your evening after a busy day. A great drink that says “I’m out for one” but also “I could still dance ‘til 1am”? 😉 Fabulous way to kick start the week!!
