Join our community of hop growers!

Our bar is stocked with our own beers such as Pandit on tap and occasional guest ales but that’s not all-we also serve wines, spirits, lager, cider, non alcoholic drinks and tasty bar snacks.

The bar is relaxed and friendly and the perfect space to enjoy an afternoon or after work drink or visit on a night out. Not only that but […]
