The Great Exhibition

Description

The Great Exhibition is a Victorian pub with a modern twist. The quirky interior filled with wooden tables and wall exhibits gives it a warm and welcoming atmosphere. They serve traditional but adventurous pub food using fresh produce, and their creative menus change seasonally. The Sunday roasts are also a big hit with visitors, so make sure to book in to avoid missing out. The pub has not one, but two beer gardens to enjoy in any season, with substantial cover and heating going up in the winter to keep the British weather at bay.

Besides the delicious food and perfectly served drinks, they are known for their events; Pub Quiz Tuesdays, Keyboard Karaoke Fridays, Jukebox Heroes Saturdays, Supper Club Thursdays, Bring Baby events like GaGa Quiz, Drag Bingo or Pampers & Champers wine tasting sessions on Mondays.

They are a community pub that builds connections. The food, drinks and events are phenomenal, but are secondary. They have a passion for creating a safe space, they are driven by helping people grow; their team, their guests, and their community. They are wild, authentic, and real. They innovate, take risks, and respect the opportunity to serve.
