The nights are drawing in and so before we know it, the 'most wonderful time of the year' will be upon us. Whether you fancy a meal with family and friends or have received the huge honour of being nominated the 'Office Christmas Fairy' we promise to make things as easy and as Christmassy as possible. Click below to see our festive menus and to make a booking.
It's hard to believe that when it was built for Lady Frances Cooke Grimston in 1838 she referred to it as a 'little cottage'. This beautiful building has been lovingly transformed into our 'little pub'.
The stone terrace has been extended to become the perfect spot for Al Fresco dining, overlooking the lawns that gently slope down towards the River Ver at the bottom of the gardens. (Although we say so ourselves) we feel we offer a gorgeous environment to dine in, either in spacious light rooms or tucked away into the cosier nooks and crannies.
Our menus are created daily from fresh, local produce, dreamt up by our talented team of chefs who cater for lighter appetites as well as those wanting hearty British pub classics. Equally it's a great place for a drink, with the bar sitting at the heart of all things, offering a haven for those who want to try a myriad of fine whiskies, gins and real ales.
Our passion lies in finding quality fresh ingredients and preparing, cooking and presenting them in a modern but unpretentious way. Our menus have a spine of classic British dishes complemented by more exotic influences from other parts of the world. We upload them to our web site each day before 12 noon so that you may peruse them at your leisure.

Praetorian Pale is now on our pumps, just in time for the weekend! Made only for us by our friends at Farrbrew and tried and tested by our team. It’s a delicious 4.2% pale with crisp citrus notes and a zesty finish. Pop down to the bar and ask for a taster (or two). Cheers!🍻🎄
