TCR, forever the rogue of Cowley road!

A classic returns. Like we said, classics from menus gone by have returned to our new cocktail list, including the classic Mojito.
Using a recipe inspired from time spent in Havana, crushed ice is gone, cubed ice is in. A decent rum and loads of fresh mint make for a really refreshing summer cocktail that hits the spot!

Sunshine and cocktail happy hour. Name a better combo!

Pornstar martinis are sooo last year! TCR introduces the first entry on our new menu. A mango and white chocolate martini. Absolut Mango, butterscotch schnapps, white chocolate Mozart liqueur and puréed mango. In the words of our team, “absolutely banging!”

Our new cocktail menu launches this week! We have done a complete overhaul of our menu. We have kept some guest favourites and added a bunch of new mixes. With something for every palate, and as always available during our legendary happy hours. Swing by to your retreat and try it out.

Today is National Fish & Chips day! Will you be enjoying the most British of dishes? If you fancy it we got it! Available daily until 9:30. Beer battered cod with chunky fries, garden peas and tartar sauce.

Booth life! Come rain or shine our garden awaits you. If you want a booth, best to grab it early as they are some of our most popular spots with our guests.

Apparently its gonna be scorching hot this weekend. Make your way down to us and enjoy our humble garden. Get a nice cold pint and a spot in the sun!

HAPPY HOURS
With this fine weather don't forget you can kick back in our spacious garden area and enjoy our cocktail happy hours daily, from 5pm to 8pm! We also offer other drinks during happy hour, but you will have to swing by and pay us a visit to find out what!

We welcome 'Jobsworth' by to our line up of real ales. Tap Social are a brilliant local brewery that not only produce great beers and ales but also do fantastic social work offering employment to ex-offenders.
Jobsworth is a 3.5% session ale brewed with a blend of Chinook and Columbus on the hot side, then dry-hopped with Azacca and Amarillo that impart fruit-forward aromas.

May the 4th be with you!

Have you spotted the many pieces of Star Wars art we have dotted around the retreat. All inspired by great works of art but with a hidden twist!
