The Bar


The bar area is relaxed, and home like. Along with the usual tables, chairs and barstools we have a couple of sofas, and larger reclining chairs, to make it truly homey. Our bar is hand madem and solid oak. Some old fashioned games, cards, and a dart board are available to all.

The Restaurant


The restaurant area is more formal, yet remains homely. This section can be curtained off from the bar area for a bit of extra privacy, making it ideal for parties. We also have a large fish tank which adds to the ambience of the dining room.

Outside


We are a great venue for the summer, and have a seated outdoor area, for people to sit out and have a drink or meal. In the winter, our outside area remains shelted, with a fire to keep you warm.

Or you can go a little further down to sit on the benches, nearer the animals and duck pond.
