Tuck in beside the fire
Tuck in beside the fire with our new Autumn menu, perfect for those seasonal get-togethers with friends and family. We’re also still serving our Pub Lunch menu, where you can join us for two mains for £21.95.
As the evening draws in, settle in with The Cosy Menu. From 3:30 pm, Monday to Friday, enjoy 2 courses for 16.95 or 3 courses for 19.95. It’s all about those winter-warming plates. Think proper Sausages & mash, classic Steak frites, or a fragrant Keralan curry. Whether you’re catching up or just dodging the commute, it’s even better with a pint of JW Lees in hand.
Sunday is a day of roast. Our roasts come with bottomless gravy and unlimited Yorkshire puddings (because one Yorkie is never enough and good gravy should never run out). Nothing truly beats a proper Sunday lunch, and it’s even better without the bother of cooking and cleaning. Sit back, relax and tuck into our traditional Sunday roasts, served with all the trimmings.
