food menu

12-3  6-9 and all day Sat and Sun

We believe in honestly made, locally sourced food. That means nothing bought in, nothing GM and everything as fresh as possible. We try and buy produce from local farmers where possible and our fish has often been caught by our fishermen mates who drink in the pub.

The menu changes on a regular basis to keep things interesting, but also to take advantage of seasonal produce. We don’t believe in using ingredients that have been flown half way around the world.
