To make the most of the weekend why not stay with us? Accommodation is available at in the pub, either bed and breakfast or in our self-catering cottage. Due to limited availability, booking is advised. We also provide camping, motor home and caravan space just across the road from the brewery and festival (what could be better!?).

Beer Fest 2015. Friday 20th November – Sunday 22nd November.

Planning is currently underway for our 21st annual beer festival, if last year is anything to go by it will be a fantastic event with a large marquee turned into a real ale lover’s paradise. We are still planning, so the details have yet to be confirmed. We will hopefully have over 80 Real Ales, traditional ciders and Continental beers available all weekend.

All the beers are carefully selected from different microbreweries from across the UK and lagers from across the world.
