We are a fairly small pub with a large garden; on a nice summer's day if it suddenly rains we are seriously challenged by the number of people enjoying the garden who seek shelter indoors so there is now a large covered area on the patio which will also be very useful during the winter months.
In common with most pubs, under 16s cannot remain on the premises after 9pm or be served at the bar at any time. The pool table is used regularly for competitions and league matches so it's use is limited to over 14s.
I took on The Pheasant in March 1996, and after struggling with an erratic demand for food decided to concentrate on the local community trade by inviting customers to bring their own food instead. There are numerous take-aways locally, most of whom now offer a delivery service, or just bring a picnic to enjoy in the garden.
On draught we currently have Carlsberg, Birra Moretti, Inchs cider, Guinness, Stan's Big Apple, London Pride and a Guest Ale.
Bottles include Budvar, Desperados, Newcastle Brown, Directors, Erdinger, Bulmers and Old Mout. Zero alcohol Heineken is also stocked, along with 0.5% Ghost Ship, 0% Erdinger and 0% Guinness (in cans).
In addition to traditional spirits we have an interesting selection of modern gins, a number of flavoured vodkas and some special rums. And of course plenty of classic and modern soft drinks.
Wine is served in 125ml, 175ml and 250ml by the glass; we have Merlot, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Blush, Sauvignon Blanc and White Zinfandel (Rose). They are also available by the bottle. Prosecco and Prosecco Rose are available in single serve bottles and we also offer Freixenet by the standard bottle in white and rose.
We have recently started serving a limited range of hot drinks. Nothing fancy - we leave that to the baristas! Instant sachets are pretty good, quick simple and inexpensive. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate and mocha usually available.
We are open from 5pm Mon-Thurs; 4pm Friday; 2pm at weekends and on ALL Bank Holidays. We are not usually open at lunchtime during the week, but we are available for small private functions such as presentations or funerals outside of our usual opening hours. Please phone or email for more information.
Our house charity is Great Ormond Street Hospital; anyone who has experience of their care will endorse what a wonderful hospital it is. We have recently been fundraising for a Defibrillator which is now situated by the front door facing the road. Access is obtained by calling 999 who will advise and guide it's use. We also have access to counselling in the event it is needed following use of the Defibrillator. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this possible.
