Welcome! We’re Blaine Reed and Michelle Coutts, and we’ve spent many years doing what we love most: bringing people together through great food, exceptional beer, and carefully selected wines.
Working side by side throughout our careers, we’ve shared a passion for hospitality, quality ingredients, and creating memorable experiences. Being able to share our enthusiasm, knowledge, and love of good food and drink with our guests is something we never take for granted.
Our menus are intentionally concise, allowing us to focus on what matters most—quality, seasonality, ethical sourcing, and supporting local producers. By working closely with trusted suppliers, we create dishes that celebrate the very best ingredients available throughout the year.
Whether you’re joining us for a relaxed lunch in the sunshine with a sharing platter and a drink, or settling in for a leisurely evening enjoying one of our set menus, we aim to make every visit welcoming, delicious, and memorable.
Bringing Your Dog?
Well-behaved dogs on leads are always welcome in our bar area, and we also have designated dog-friendly dining tables available. If you’re bringing your four-legged companion, simply let us know when making your booking and we’ll be happy to arrange a suitable table.
We look forward to welcoming you soon.
A Perfect Stop for Walkers, Cyclists & Riders
