What a scorcher! ☀️🔥

Escape the heat and cool down in our shady garden with something ice-cold in hand. We’ve got plenty of refreshing drinks to choose from, including this vibrant Amalfi Spritz 🍊❄️

Made with Lyre’s Italian Spritz, blood orange soda, fresh orange, and finished with plenty of ice, it’s the perfect way to chill out on a sunny day.

Grab a seat, find some shade, and let us keep you refreshed. 🍹

World Gin Day is here!

What better way to celebrate than with a refreshing Hugo G&T in the sunshine? ☀️

Our Hugo G&T combines Plymouth Gin, elderflower cordial, Mediterranean tonic and fresh lemon for a light, floral twist on a classic favourite.

And if Hugo isn’t your thing, we’ve got a fantastic selection of gins to suit every taste – from classic London dry styles to fruity, floral and botanical-infused favourites. Whether you prefer something crisp and citrusy, bursting with berries, or packed with fragrant botanicals, there’s a perfect G&T waiting for you.

Saving yourself for the sunny weekend? We’ve got you covered.

Just a few of our low & 0% alcohol favourites waiting behind the bar - from crisp lagers and hoppy IPAs to alcohol-free stout and cider.

And while the weather might not be playing ball, our beautiful garden is partially covered, so you can still enjoy a pint, a catch-up, and a bit of fresh air without worrying about the rain.

Pop in, stay dry, and raise a glass (without the hangover). 🍺☔️

Stuck for ideas for the dad who already has everything? This Father’s Day, give him something he’ll genuinely enjoy – the gift of the pub.

Whether it’s a quiet pint after work, catching up with friends, or spending an afternoon in his favourite local, a pub gift voucher is the perfect way to treat him. No guesswork, no unwanted gadgets – just a couple of well-earned pints in a proper pub.

Our gift vouchers can be used for drinks, food and good times, making them an ideal present for the hard-to-buy-for dad.

Available to purchase over the bar or online.

Give Dad a reason to pull up a stool, raise a glass and enjoy his favourite local this Father’s Day. Cheers to that! 🍻
