Our Drink

What we try to do is please our local audience by offering something a little different and where we can, a little local.

In wines we stick to a simple rule the wine has got to taste good and represent good value for money, its about quality, but we also like to have quantity too, offering a list of 40 to 50 wines that cover most bases, occasions and tastes.

In the world of beers and lagers we always make sure there are some friendly familiar faces, but also something a little different. Our range of cask ales vary considerably from pub to pub but most will have 3 or 4 that dont change very often, ideally supporting local brewers and 2 or 3 that rotate to encourage that niggling urge many of us have to try something new.

B & P Traditional Bitters

All of our pubs offer a Brunning and Price Traditional Bitter, brewed with the utmost of care and attention and of course regular quality control testing by ourselves to make sure everything is just so.

The ales are different in the north and the south, brewed through two different breweries. If you would like to know more about their stories, then read on: Brunning and Price Original and Brunning and Price Traditional.

A visit to Budvar in the Czech Republic

August 2025

Ioan and Dave’s patch of Managers went away for their annual retreat earlier this month, this year to the Czech Republic, hosted by our friends at Budvar.

They had a brewery tour, rafted through Czesky Krumlov as well as having a cookery masterclass with the number one chef in the Czech republic, as well as plenty of exploration of Czech culture and cuisine along the way.

A great time was had by all and they’re looking forward to showcasing their new-found love of Czech food alongside some other varieties of Budvar at some tasting evenings they’re planning for the winter months.

Nazdravi!
