The Hare & Hounds,
Formerly old holding cells for prisoners, this pleasant looking pub dates back to the 17th Century and has a character of its own with traditional features such as low beams and open fire places. Outside is rendered cream with hanging baskets and flowers. Children are well catered for with an outdoor play area in the garden and also a small play area indoors. This is a community based pub where we have a popular weekly quiz night and show all major matches on the TVs and large plasma screen. Good pub food is available daily from a varied main menu with the Sunday roast being particularly popular. You can choose to dine throughout the pub.
