Summertime and Living is Easy
Summer is finally here and so is our first Annual Summer Gathering! The biggest music festival this side of Pilton is on Saturday 1st June from 1pm and is completely and totally 100% free. We've got 8 bands playing throughout the day including landlord, John, and The Last Orders. As well as live music we're keeping the vibe totally family friendly with a bouncy castle to entertain the little ones.
Expect to see 11 cask ales, as usual, as well as 6 ciders and perry's. The BBQ will be lit from 4pm but our main menu will be available from 12noon. This is very much a family event - so lets all get together and celebrate live music and good times!
Please help us to make this event as outstanding as it can possibly be by inviting your family and friends

Real Ale, Real Food
The new menu was introduced at the same time as oour new summertime opening hours. We serve every day 12-6 including our signature Sunday lunch with live Jazz every week.
The highlight of the menu are our homemade burgers, they've proven really popular already and we're now looking to expand on this for our next menu. Also during the few hot days we've had our platters have been selling really well, especially the Ploughman's board.
