Our pizza night offer is reverting back to the old offer!!
buy a pizza, to get a selected drink free, you can choose a pint of lager, cider or ale, or a pint of pepsi, lemonade, pepsi max... you can also choose a regular house wine!

03/07/2024

We changed up our pizza night offer to try and give what we felt was fantastic value, as a sharing offer for families or small groups. However after listening to the feedback from our customers, we have decided to go back to the previous offer. It seems like more people were interested in it being an offer based on one person. so as from tomorrow, we will be bringing back the offer of a free selected drink with any pizza ordered from our pizza night menu.

help us to help others!!
Support a local pub supporting an amazing charity.
3 Dads walking are raising awareness and money for the charity PAPYRUS which is helping to raise awareness around su***de prevention.
the 3 dads lost their daughters to su***de, and as a father myself, it actually hurts to even think about how they went through that.

We wanted to do something this father's day to help raise a little bit of money for PAPYRUS - so we are donating 50pence from EVERY pint of the 3 dads pale ale sold, and on top of that 10% from the food sales from our fathers day menu.

It is such a great cause and we would love it if you could help us raise funds, and awareness. If you or anyone you know is struggling, then please reach out to someone... reach out to PAPYRUS!!
