Whether you're visiting for a celebratory night out, a casual meet-up with friends or a relaxing evening to unwind, alfresco cocktails in the new sunny garden are sure to make it a summer to remember.
Co-owner of the hotel, Ross Sanders, said: 'It’s been a labour of love, and we want the community to feel really welcome to enjoy this beautiful, serene space.'
There are also a great selection of new dishes available in the garden, served every day from 10am to 10pm. Choose from salads, nibbles, sharing mezze boards, a light express lunch or something more substantial.
Main dishes include grilled Chateaubriand, cauliflower steak, sirloin steak, jumbo shrimp and spatchcock chicken. There's traditional pub grub on offer too with fish and chips, chicken and chorizo pie, beef burger, risotto and tuna steak.
During weekends there's also the option of a bottomless brunch or Sunday roast to enjoy alfresco. To make the most of the summer, there are barbecues from the in-house smoker every Wednesday too.
