Far From the Madding Crowd

We are proud to announce that we have been awarded Cask Marque accreditation. Cask Marque is an independent body dedicated to excellence in the service of cask ale. You can find out more about the organisation here. To achieve accreditation, a pub must pass two unannounced inspections which asses the temperature, appearance, aroma and taste of their cask ales. Congratulations to David and the team for all their hard work that ensures our beers are offered in such excellent condition.

 Our quiz and curry nights are going from strength to strength! The quiz starts at 8.30pm every Sunday and participants who wish can enjoy a fantastic, homemade curry for just £3. A vegetarian option is always available. Entry is free and the winning team receive a round of drinks on the house. So why not come along and pit your wits!

Far From the Madding Crowd provides complimentary WIFI  for all customers, just ask at the bar for the password.
