We will be open at our usual time of 12pm, we are still decorating so please be patient and aware there may be some smell of paint.

Thank you

Our painting and varnishing work is taking a little longer then we thought so we will be using the function room again tomorrow as the pub area.

We will be open from 2pm as our dementia group will be in tomorrow for their usual get together.

We apologise for any inconveniences but the varnish is very strong so we are doing our best to stay open for you all.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Meet beautiful Barney, who is 12 years young and still has a tail that never stops wagging! 🐶❤️

Barney is a happy, loving boy with a big heart and a real passion for food! 🍖 He loves nothing more than a trip to the beach, lots and lots of attention, and a good game of fetch with his favourite ball. 🎾🌊

At 12 years old, Barney still has so much love to give and is happiest when he's surrounded by people who adore him. He's a special boy who deserves all the fuss, cuddles and happiness in the world. 💕🐾
