Breakfast covers both full cooked plates and lighter morning choices, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options represented. From midday, burgers, sandwiches and seasonal salads sit beside traditional pub dishes such as fish and chips and steak and ale pie.
Sunday lunch is centred on a traditional roast, while sticky toffee pudding, fruit crumbles and chocolate cake provide familiar desserts. Local ales, beer, cider, wine, cocktails, spirits and alcohol free drinks support the bar side of the venue.
