our drinks

We love our drinks as much as we love our food. Our range of draught cask ales and lagers is unrivalled in the area with 4 perfectly conditioned real ales on tap,

Including our regular gold medal-winning Timothy Taylor Landlord. Because we are truly free of any brewery tie, we can buy our real ales from any brewery in the UK and we have sold almost 150 different guest ales in one 12 month period.

We also support local brewers like Little Brewing Taj and offer Guest Ales throughout the summer months.

Our wine is blind tasted to ensure quality. You can choose not to buy a whole bottle because all our wines are available by the glass. For those looking for a refreshing cocktail we have various options available.
