Accommodation & Camping

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!?). Please get in touch to book your space at the campsite.

As well as the flowing ale we will also have live music every day. We will post details about this years bands soon. And, as beer is best accompanied by food we will also be serving traditional pub grub throughout the weekend.

See you there!

Beer Fest 2015

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.

To make the most of the weekend you can stay with us, accommodation is available at in the pub either bed and breakfast or self-catering. We also provide camping and caravan space in the grounds of the brewery (what better?).

Booking is advisable for both, as space is limited.

As well as the flowing ale we will also have live music every day.

As beer is best accompanied by food we will also be serving traditional pub grub across the weekend.
