Our storyA country pub
A country pub
with character.
The Old Original has been under the Harrop family’s stewardship for three decades.
The tendency to follow every new food trend has largely been avoided and, whilst the menu is constantly “tweaked” to appeal to today’s diner, the original ethos of quality and value for money is of paramount importance and will not be compromised.
It is our firm belief that dining out should not just be a meal but an experience that should be enjoyed and savoured by all our guests. We strive to create a cosy, warm and friendly atmosphere enhanced by attentive but not over-bearing service.
You may have noticed on entering the slogan: “Good Ale, Good Food & Good Company”. Our belief is that if we can provide all three elements we will have achieved our objective.
