WE LOVE DOGS 🐾 We are dog friendly, so your fur friends are welcome inside and outside the pub. Please note if booking to dine with us however, you will need to book a table inside the pub or in our garden, as our conservatory is a dog free zone. This is to ensure the comfort of all our customers. We thank you for your cooperation and understanding 🐾
Riverside Dining
It may be hidden, but it’s no secret!
We have a huge, beautifully landscaped outside garden for you to enjoy a tranquil riverside dining experience, just sit back and we will take care of you. Surrounded by weeping willows, hanging over the water it’s an enclosed, private space that’s like something out of a fairy-tale. It’s got a tranquil and relaxed vibe with a series of spaces for both drinking and dining. So, if you just want to relax and enjoy a drink in the sun that’s fine too. At night, the whole place is charming, cosy and romantic. It’s a festoon lit hidden-gem, complete with blankets and fire pits, so you’ll be snug as a bug in a blanket!
In the summer we run live music events in the garden, please head over to our social media to see what’s on in 2025.
