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...

This one is madder than a box of frogs. Having worked in pubs for most of her life, she has recently joined the B&P crew and taken it in her stride. Cheeky and cheerful on the outside, it's her crazy cackle that you can hear throughout the downs that you need to watch out for!

Richard has been with us just over a year now and is a welcome breath of fresh air. He has worked in pubs for years however has recently come back after a few years off, where he was able to spend a bit of quality time with his family. He can fit 50 words into a second and moves just as fast!
