Public Bar & Casual Dining
Wednesday to Monday, 12pm to 10pm

The Public Bar is where the town comes in. A pint after work, a pub meal, a spritz with friends. Warm in winter, cool in summer. Order at the bar and we'll bring it out.
Prefer some fresh air? Enjoy your meal out in the beer garden or balcony, where you can soak up the sunshine or enjoy the sunset (weather permitting). It’s first come, first served, so no bookings. Just good food, great drinks, and the kind of atmosphere that brings everyone together.
