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...

Katie has been working in the hospitality industry for almost seven years and is incredibly passionate about what she does. She loves creating memorable experiences, meeting new people and bringing a little bit of warmth and personality to everything she does.
Outside of work, Katie loves spending time with her partner, exploring new destinations and discovering all the best food, drinks and hidden gems the world has to offer. And, more often than not, you’ll find her doing it all with a spritz in hand!

He spent two and a half years as a brewer for Beartown Brewery so has a keen interest in good beers. Good food has always been a passion and he loves to make a mess in his kitchen while pretending he knows how to cook.
When he’s not working he can be found trying to play golf, watching football with his brother, nose buried in a book, or riding his motorbike round the Peak District.
