Trading Style

The pub at present trades to the local community with most customers walking to the pub to drink in the bar throughout the day.  Its central location gives it the opportunity to trade to the older residents many of which are long standing regulars in the daytime. In the early doors and evenings, cask ale lovers and destination diners are targeted as the pub is ideally located on the main road through the village.  The draught drinks offer is varied and targeted at its current customers. Sports for darts and pool are popular and a weekly entertainment slot is popular along with the Sunday Night Draw. The early doors trade is often bolstered by local trades people calling on the way home from work. The key to the pubs success is its food offer for both casual dining and customers getting together with family and friends.
