We've got a great selection of local wines and spirits, as well as a food menu that includes mouth-watering burgers and delicious share plates.
We've always got something exciting happening, from weekly trivia nights to limited edition beer releases. Please note although there is some cover in the Beer Garden, if there is rain we will do our best to move you inside but we can't guarantee a table, also the tables for 2 are barrel tables with no cover.
