The Griffin describes itself as a “Pub Restaurant”. It is a traditional old building, possibly originally a farmhouse. with a modernised interior. The decor is attractive and there is carpeting to most seating areas.

To the left of the bar is the good sized restaurant occupying some 25% of the floor space. The other 75% is the pub with plenty of seating and tables. The open plan aspect is divided into “open rooms”. The canned music can be intrusive but there are one or two quiet corners where the speakers are turned off.

As well as real ales the bar is well stocked with British lagers, bottled beers and ciders, wines and soft drinks.

Food served in the restaurant is to a standard Chef and Brewer menu.

The Griffin is very popular with a wide range of age groups, locals and visitors and is usually busy.
