DRINKS
Whether you're a wine fanatic or simply curious, you’ll find something you’ll love on our wine list. Sip on everyday favourites, or a drop from a small producer, take a walk on the wild side with an unconventional grape variety, or try a wine with a bit of character and a great vintage.
When it is time for a tipple or two, our lovingly curated drinks selection sure does the trick.
From an extensive wine list and a wide range of beers and craft ales – including non-alcoholic and low alcohol options, to a well-stocked gin shelf, there’s something for every taste and occasion. Enjoy at our cosy bar, restaurant or in our pub garden.
​
If you want something special, ask to see our Black Book where you’ll find our extended wine list. The Black Book is a curated collection of rare finds, exceptional vintages, and personal favourites - each chosen not just for its quality, but also for its story. These are wines with character, provenance, and purpose.​
BAR MENU
Our pub bar is always open for drinks throughout the day. Stop by after a dog walk or pop in for a drink while you catch up with friends, if you are feeling peckish.
Try our Rarebit, Padron peppers, or a big portion of triple-cooked chips with curry sauce! No reservations are needed for drinks or to tuck into our snack menu.
LINGER A LITTLE LONGER
With our pub rooms away from the warm bustle, settle in for the night after exploring the Dedham Vale and rest those weary feet. Bring the little ones, the dog, or just fly solo and stay in one of our stylish, peaceful rooms. Wake up refreshed and head down for a cooked breakfast with our bed and breakfast offers.
