The Birth of Our Larger Menu
With the community’s appetite growing faster than a dragon’s hoard, we expanded our menu to offer something for everyone. From hearty pies to vibrant vegan dishes, indulgent burgers to lighter bites, our new menu became a treasure trove of flavors for all tastes and diets. It’s not just a menu—it’s a feast fit for royalty!

Our Famous Homemade Pies
A pastry-packed milestone! We rolled out our first range of homemade pies, including the now-iconic Steak & Ale and Steak & Stilton. From hearty classics to bold creations like the Kebab House and Game, Rosemary & Red Wine, every pie is lovingly crafted to perfection. Whether you’re a meat-lover or veggie enthusiast, there’s a pie for every dragon-slayer!
