The Speckled Hen
This family-run pub places a great emphasis on catering for families. Father and daughter Martin and Kellie are at the helm. The place consists of a traditional old time public bar with a wood-burning stove and snug lounge which is used for seating up to 34 people for food. There is also a larger dining room with a contemporary feel including a nice open fire for the winter nights.
Food-wise, we’re talking wholesome, traditional and fresh with a contemporary twist. The menus are peppered with local ingredients and are changed every two months. Apart from the savoury stuff, (breakfast, lunch and dinner) they’re known for their excellent coffees and desserts.
There’s also a wide selection of bottled craft beers and ciders. Approximately 30% of food in the menu is updated every two months. They even have their own beer garden and will be opening their microbrewery later this year.
