The weather is looking a bit miserable for the next couple of days.

Why not come and cheer yourself up in our warm, cosy pub with a nice drink and hearty meal...

We might even get our fires going!

Our wonderful (and very helpful) accountant Amanda is taking on the Swim 10k in November Challenge to help raise money for Cancer Research UK.

Amanda is taking on the challenge after losing her mum and several other close family members and friends to cancer.

We know a lot of our customers have been affected by cancer too so any support to this brilliant charity would be much appriciated.

🐾 In fact we're dog obsessed.

Your furry friends are welcome to join you for food and drinks in the bar and outside- we just ask that you don't take them into the restaurant area.

We have treats on the bar and water bowls dotted around, so if you're taking your dog for a walk this weekend, stop in for some great food or a quick drink on your way home. We love to see them!

Vodka and Gin produced in collaboration with the Cotswold master distillers - the Wood Brothers, and using single-estate wheat from Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat and other British farms.
