The garden
Room for sunny pints and winter gatherings
The rear garden is the main event, with plenty of outdoor seating for warm afternoons and covered huts with heaters when the weather turns. Fire pits add another reason to stay out, while the pétanque piste gives the garden something to do beyond drinking.
The kitchen
Burgers, roasts and changing street food
Food centres on handmade burgers, with free-range chicken, dry-aged beef and vegan options also on the menu. Sunday brings a traditional roast, while street food vendors and seasonal dishes add variety. The kitchen is open every day from 12pm to 10pm.
