Primarily a restaurant

Under new management as of June 2021. Now primarily a restaurant with limited opening hours as the new tenants settle in. It is hoped that the real ale provision will continue. The front entrance leads to the restaurant with a central bar serving two real ales behind which is a smaller area for drinking and eating, which can also be accessed via the rear entrance from the courtyard garden.
