The pub’s bar is open every day from 12 pm to 11 pm, offering a wide selection of local ales, bottled beers, cask ales, wine, and spirits, alongside a small, well‑equipped kitchen that serves home‑cooked meals. Lunch runs Tuesday–Saturday from 12 pm to 2:30 pm, and evenings from 6 pm to 8:30 pm, with a special Sunday lunch from 12 pm to 5 pm. The open‑air beer garden provides a spacious, dog‑friendly space for al‑fresco dining and a children's play area, making it a favourite with families.
