Some of our lovely customers left these wonderful reviews after dining with us today! ❤️🙌🏼

It genuinely means so much to hear such positive feedback, and we’re so pleased that the small changes we’re making are being noticed and enjoyed.

We’re incredibly proud of The Heron and the love our customers have for this place. We’re working hard behind the scenes to keep improving, while still keeping that welcoming, proper-pub feeling that makes The Heron so special. 🥰

A huge thank you to everyone who continues to support us, leaves feedback, recommends us to friends and, most importantly, keeps coming through our doors.

We’re listening, we’re learning and we’re only just getting started! ❤️🍻

Our Sunday menu has landed once again 🍽️

We’re talking proper Sunday roast, crispy roasties, plenty of gravy and all the good stuff… basically a roast worth getting out of bed for. 😏

We’ve got no tables left restaurant side 👀
But, don’t worry — the Pool Bar is still available! 🎱🍻

So stop scrolling, stop pretending you’re cooking tomorrow. 😂

Sunday lunch, a few cheeky drinks and absolutely no washing up afterwards… sounds like a bloody good Sunday to us! 😉

See you all soon ! 🙌🏼

🚨 HERON UPDATE 🚨

Well… it’s not quite the Saturday morning we had planned! 😂💦

Unfortunately, we’re not able to open until 1pm today as we currently have NO WATER. And as much as we’d love to just crack on… no water means no hand washing, no flushing the loos, no dishwasher and definitely no washing up! 🤣

As much as we like doing things the old-fashioned way, we draw the line at serving your dinner on yesterday’s plates! 😂🍽️

We’re hoping everything will be sorted and we’ll be back open from 1pm. 🤞🏼

Thanks for your patience and understanding — and fingers crossed the water decides to join the party soon! 💦🍻

Roast dinners, cold pints and absolutely NO washing up… sounds like a pretty decent Sunday to us! 😂

We’ve got the Sunday lunches coming out hot, the gravy flowing and the bar ready for whatever you lot throw at us! 👀🤣

Whether you’re here for the roast, the pint, the gossip or all three… you’re welcome!

We’ve got JUST ONE TABLE LEFT on the restaurant side!

BUT… don’t panic!

The Pool Bar is still available — so you can still get your Sunday roast, a few drinks and maybe a cheeky game of pool afterwards! 🍺

Come hungry, leave stuffed… and pretend you didn’t see the dessert menu. 😏😂

😏 Come hungry.
🍺 Stay for a pint.
😂 Blame us when you’re too full to move.

🚨 RIGHT THEN… WE’VE GOT A BIG ONE FOR YOU! 👀😂

We’ve been looking at the size of The Heron and thinking… there’s only so many times we can blame the empty space on the pool table! 🤣

So we thought… LET’S GET SOME LIVE MUSIC IN🙌🏼

We’re planning ahead for winter and we want to bring some proper live entertainment to the pub — but we need YOU lot to do the hard work for us! 😂

🎶 Who’s your favourite band?
🎤 Which solo artist do you love?
🎸 Seen someone locally who absolutely smashes it?

DROP THEIR NAMES BELOW! 👇🏼

We’re trying new things, filling the diary and generally causing a bit of a stir at The Heron… so let’s see who you want! 👀

And if your recommendation ends up playing here, you can take all the credit… or at least buy yourself a pint. 😂🍺
