☀️☀️☀️ Good morning everyone! ☀️☀️☀️

A very quick Hello from us as we're in for a very busy weekend and are busy preparing to welcome you all.

Our kitchen will be *closed* tomorrow, Saturday as we are catering a large party. We're serving until 7pm tonight ahead of the quiz, and will re-open for Father's Day roasts at midday on Sunday, ahead of a fantastic performance from Laura (Keepsake Lily) at 4pm.

In the meantime, we remain open for business tomorrow and we're expecting a large crowd for Karaoke from 8.30pm.

We are more or less fully booked for Sunday roasts. Please do contact us if you would like to be waitlisted, or to discuss one of our very few remaining places (a couple of spaces after 3pm currently available at present).

Drop in and see us! We can't wait to see you 😊

Starting at 4pm until 6pm- don't forget we'll be serving our Summer salads, Ploughman's and Platters alongside our usual roasts, so give us a shout if you'd like to book a table. See you then!
