Follow the smoke

In the old maltings on Wharf Lane, two minutes from the station. Here's how to get here, where to park, and when the fire's lit.

The arched windows on the wharf side, with smoke from the chimney. The door is round the corner, on the cobbles.

Are dogs allowed?

Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the bar, with a bowl of water and a biscuit.

Is it smoky inside?

Can I just come for a drink?

Of course. The bar doesn't take bookings and serves the whole menu.
