Sunday Roasts

Served every Sunday.Bookings recommended. Walk-ins always welcome where we can. Our roasts are all about the classics done properly: generous cuts, crisp potatoes, seasonal vegetables and proper gravy. Whether you’re in for a long lunch, a post-walk plate, or a pint that accidentally turns into a roast, this is pub food the way it should be – comforting, well-cooked, and worth coming back for. Book here.
