Behind the bar you will find Fuller’s award-winning cask ales, including London Pride, alongside premium wines, craft beers, spirits and soft drinks, making it an excellent destination pub from breakfast through to evening drinks. One of the pub’s standout features is its beer garden, which offers plenty of room to relax, whether you are enjoying a leisurely lunch, meeting friends for drinks, or dining alfresco on a summer evening.
