Evergreen and ever-popular, the original ‘modern-style’ bar in town sprawls around a rambling old mill house and has an idiosyncratic attraction for beer enthusiasts and their dogs. An ever-changing selection of interesting ales - both cask and keg - offers temptation to every drinker, and occasional tap takeovers ring the changes. Pop-up food stalls cater for most tastes and are advertised weekly on social media. There are occasional special events and festivals.
