Here is just a little info to let you get to know us better...
Here is little potted history of our pub and the local area... if you have a spare minute or two and maybe a cup of tea (or is that a G&T), we think it's well worth read.
If you'd like to put a name to a face, allow us to introduce you to the crew...
Manager
Here we have Josh, the head honcho over here, but prefers to be called “Le Grand Fromage” for his big love of cheese of course. When you pop round you will find Josh greeting and making sure all our guests feel at home. When he’s not at work he likes to indulge in a bit of cheese and "sports wine" (as he named it!)

Sous Chef
"What is this" well this is Salvatore and what better way to open his profile then with his own catchphrase, our Sicilian Sous Chef, from a family of chefs with a passion for hospitality and cooking like no other. There's nothing he loves more than a seafood linguine and carbonara "never with double cream", always up for a challenge and always up for a laugh.
