Due to the heavy rain forecast by the Met Office for this weekend, we have decided to postpone the beer festival and put it back to later in the summer (or what we hope will eventually be a summer!!).
We still have Jamie Ledwith here on Friday evening to entertain you and are ordering a couple of extra Guest Ales and Cider so we can still have a fun weekend should the weather decide to be kinder than forecast.
Don’t forget the garden is always open and the bouncy castle will be up (weather permitting) so bring the children along to have some fun too.
Re-scheduled date for the beer festival will be given here as soon as it is arranged.

Come and join us for our second Beer Festival which starts on the evening of Friday 22nd June and ends on Sunday 24th June.
We will have a selection of Guest Ales and Ciders for you to try – more news on those next week.
Friday night kicks off the Festival with Jamie Ledwith and his guitar and those of you who have enjoyed a ‘Jamie’ evening before will know what a good night he always provides.
As always the garden will be open for the children and we will keep our fingers and toes crossed for good weather! The hens and goats are fed up with the rain too so lets hope!!
More news will be added as an when we have it.

Where has this year gone! The summer has flown by in a colourful mixture of weddings, fun days, Christenings, fund raising and more. We have been very lax in updating this site but will try to make amends from now on and keep everyone up to date with what is going on here over the next few months.
We have new photos to add, together with new menus and ‘What’s On’ information so please check back from time to time.
