Trading Style

Trading Style

The pub currently operates as a busy community pub, showing live sports and hosting a pool and darts team. Our vision is to maintain existing trade but to build and offer more to the community – utilizing the full area of the pub as well as introducing a simple food offer which would provide an additional income stream, along with a regular entertainment programme.
