Inside

A bright old boozer with a modern feel

The pub’s glazed-tile exterior gives way to a light, airy bar with traditional details and contemporary artwork. There’s an original back bar, terracotta tiling and an adjoining room with a fireplace and open kitchen.

The kitchen

Pizza, small-batch wine and a changing blackboard

Pizza is served daily, with seasonal options appearing on the blackboards. The wine list is bought in small batches, keeping it fresh and interesting, alongside a broad beer selection including cask ale.
