There’s loads to discover on our menus, as well as all our usual favourites like our Steak & Tanglefoot Pie made with our very own Tanglefoot beer or succulent Fish & Chips, we’ve also got some delicious vegan meals like our Vegan ‘Shepherds’ Pie, a regularly changing specials board full of seasonal dishes, Sunday Roasts and oh so much more.
