We'll have as many beers as possible on offer. Our ales, lager and other craft beers. The beer will be served from various locations including the shop, tap yard and alley bar located between the tap yard and lower yard.  

 

Food  

Our kitchen will be serving burgers, hot dogs and veggie/vegan options. To keep things interesting, we also invite street food trucks to add variety to the menu.

Members and their guests are welcome to attend the public night and will have unlimited beer and soft drinks.  

 

Drivers & Non-Drinkers  

We offer a £10 reduced-price entry option which includes 2 drink tokens. These can be used for alcohol or soft drinks at the Tap Yard.  

 

Toilets  

There are male and female toilets in the shop and more up the stairs out of the Tap Yard. There is also a  gents in the lower yard.  

 

Parking

We have on-site car park. This does fill up so, if possible, consider getting a lift or taxi.  

 

Rain / Cold Weather

We are prepared for adverse weather, so unless extreme, the nights will run. There is already plenty of shelter and we have more pop-up gazebos if necessary. We have a heated shop but warm clothing is recommended for cold weather.  

 

Music

Background music will play all night. Regular live music will restart in the near future.    

 

Children

The events are for over 18s only.  

 

Dogs

As the events can be busy with a lot of people moving around, we only allow service dogs to enter the event.  

 

Extra Tokens

Extra drink tokens can be purchased in the shop at £3.50 per token.  

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What if I arrive before 7:00pm?  

That's fine, you will still get 5 drinks tokens and you can use them as you wish. The Tap Yard will be open beforehand. 

The free bar for members does not open until 6:45pm  

 

Are tickets refundable at the end of the night?  

No, tickets are non-refundable and cannot be carried over to future events.  

 

Why are the Development Brews (DB range) not available?  

Our DB range is available as a  taster, however our development brewery isn't big enough to cope with the demand required for our social nights.  

 

Why can't I get beer from the hand pumps in the Tap Yard?

The ale served from the tap yard is stored next to it in a small cellar. Whilst it can cope with Tap Yard demand, it isn't large enough to cope with demand from a brewery night. All beers are available elsewhere either in the shop or the alley bar.
