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...
Manager
Jader has worked in hospitality for many years, from cooking to mixing cocktails and now pulling pints. Originally from Brazil, he worked at the Queens Arms back in 2016, and then decided to come back in 2019 because he just loves the pub and the area. A lover of beer, he can usually be found running around the pub, or in the cellar making sure all the beers are in top condition.
