Traditional Sunday lunches mingle on the same menu as more adventurous options such as sea bream, leaving the choice in your hands.
Stocking 54 varieties of gin, and a wide range of real ales, there is something for even the most discerning connoisseur in order to allow you to craft your ultimate gin and tonic.
