Nothing sits around. We cook with fresh, quality ingredients from local suppliers — including Kale & Damson in Cambridgeshire for our veg and dry store.
Family-Run
Independent and family-run for eight years — we're part of the village, not just passing through.

Our Story
Bringing the village pub back to life
We opened eight years ago, before covid, and fought hard to keep the doors open through it — bringing a proper pub back to the village in the process. We're independent and family-run, and our regulars are locals, farmers, families and cyclists passing through. Everything's cooked over charcoal with fresh ingredients, and we love hosting parties and weddings as much as a quiet weeknight dinner. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are all catered for, with free parking on site and a room that gets loud with regulars on a Friday night.

“Superb service. He even convinced my son to try something new! Loved my Milanese di pollo. Good balance of pub vibe and gastro chic without looking like you're gonna pay mark up for designer furniture.”
