BAR MENU
We may house an Italian Restaurant but, in here in the Bar, we are a
traditional British Pub – you can expect a warm and welcoming atmosphere,
friendly service, fantastic ales and the very best pub grub!
Good honest food that makes your heart sing is what we are all about –
you can expect all kinds of comforting dishes from sharing planks, piled
high with tasty morsels, to pub food favourites like fish and chips and
traditional pies to our speciality stone-baked pizzas.
We are also passionate about where our ingredients come from which is why
you will find that we source our produce from farmers and suppliers on our
doorstep and people who we know as our friends.
Then there’s our beers, which we brew ourselves right next door and match
to all the dishes on our bar menu so the food on plate and the drink in
your glass compliment each other perfectly! Allow us to tell you more…
Sonnet 43 Brew House is our craft brewery and our next door neighbour. ‘Sonnet 43?’
- Coxhoe village was birthplace of 19th Century poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning
whose best known work, which features the well-known line ‘How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways’, is where we derived both our name and brewing ethos.
We took the love she described and interpreted our way - craft beer. Every
drop is crafted with care and attention to ensure the best flavour.
