One stop eatery
We’ve combined bar, restaurant, and café into a truly individual one stop eating and drinking experience.

We’re open, so why not stop by and sample our great food and drinks, and experience our unique, welcoming atmosphere.

Note when booking - a high top table is a taller table with bar stool height chairs, the chairs have backs and are very comfortable but we recommend not booking these if you have very young children (under 5s) or members of your party who are less able bodied.

    Delicious roast we had at the depot today! I had chicken which was so tender it fell off the bone, my husband had beef which was cooked to perfection! And both our daughters had pork and said it was sooo good! Lovely selection of vegetables too! Cheese leeks were AMAZING! We also love the parsnip crisps! And a massive Yorkshire! We had to take the rest of the cheesy leeks home as requested by our daughter! We’ll be back soon! :-)

    First visit and we’ll be back! Good food, good service, lots of space, reasonable prices. Energetic ambience due to a large kids party but not really an issue.

    Unfortunately this establishment isn’t just a restaurant it’s a bar open to the locals that like to shout at the top of their voice and swear in front of staff and children and the staff just laugh about it. The food is absolutely amazing which is why it’s a shame to mark it down but ask yourself would you pay the best part of £120 for rude guests shouting across your dining experience with no staff interaction?
