Moving further in, the central bar stretches around, providing quick service access to all main areas. The main lounge wraps around the front of the building, flooded with natural light from large windows, and furnished with a mixture of comfy chairs and tables. To your left, you’ll find a dedicated games area, complete with pool tables, TV screens, feature darts wall and ample space for socialising. This section offers a more energetic vibe, great for sports fans or a night out. Outside, through one of several doors, you’ll step into the large beer garden, beautifully laid out with seating areas, planters, festoon lighting and shaded spaces under trees and parasols, a great space to keep the atmosphere flowing.
