Great for an after work drink in a gorgeous old pub/ brewery. They only have their own craft beers on tap - so you will need to be happy to try something new. Food is simple pub food but not brilliant.

The newly rebranded UUMM restaurant showcases a seasonal menu of à la carte dishes across a choice of 2 or 3 courses. The cellar door offers wine tastings and a wood-fired menu of pizza and grazing options. Each dish celebrates the exceptional local produce that our region has become synonymous with.
Always check it is open as they do host weddings especially in Spring.
