People travel further to drink and eat in a quality establishment, and good service and friendly staff are two vital parts of the experience.

The Doors shall open.

Still lots of work to do but everything is moving on at a good pace. If this keeps up without any major disasters then….

We should be able to welcome our first customers sometime within the week beginning 7th March 2011.

Look forward to serving you then.

ps Promise to upload some progress snaps soon.

First post.

Well this is our first of many posts, we hope to keep our customers informed of what we are doing and give them some background information about the fine Ale’s & Wines we sell.

Feel free to recommend any tipple you have enjoyed on your travels and we may be able to organise a little reunion ;) .

After running licensed premises for many of years, we have decided to take a fresh approach and get back to basics.

We aim to give our customers a unique experience but with a hint of familiarity from pubs of old.

Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.
