It serves up to six gravity fed cask ales from small independent breweries across the UK, rotated weekly, alongside local ciders, wines and spirits. It is a small, conversation first room with no television and no jukebox, which is what makes it well suited to acoustic music. Alongside the weekly Sunday folk session it runs twice monthly quiz nights and occasional live music events.
