The Grey Horse is a friendly, welcoming pub and the best place for unforgettable experiences. A quaint little place, what it lacks in size it makes up for in atmosphere and personality. Well-loved in the area by the locals and regulars, the venue's low ceilings make it feel cosy and warm, with the lovely interior making it feel like a real home from home. The pub boasts traditional old-world features, making it the perfect place to get snuggly with some hot drinks in the winter. With the large fireplace, you can sit back and enjoy the warmth.
They offer an all-day food selection, as well as Sunday roasts, and you are welcome to bring all the family to come and enjoy (they even allow dogs). The main menu is full of old favourites and some sharing platters, if you're mixing with friends. They also have steaks fresh from the grill and made to order.
The drinks menu includes delicious wines which pair nicely with their dishes, as well as a vast and extensive spirits menu, including gins and whiskey from all over the world.
The weekly quiz is played on a Thursday and is very popular, so booking is a good idea, and there are screens around the venue showing all the live sports as they happen.
Make this holiday season truly unforgettable at our venue! Christmas is the perfect time to gather with family and friends, and our space is ideal for creating lasting festive memories. Savour our Christmas set menus, packed with seasonal favourites and all the trimmings, and pair them with our exclusive drinks for the ultimate holiday experience. Whether it’s a cosy catch-up with friends or a lively holiday work celebration, our welcoming venue sets the scene for unforgettable moments. And when New Year’s Eve arrives, raise a glass of sparkling fizz, celebrate with laughter, and step into the new year surrounded by friendship, festive magic, and joy.
