What it’s like
A pub venue with live gigs and pizza that keeps things family-friendly earlier in the day, before the later shows turn 18+.
This is a music pub first and foremost, with pizza on site from Freewheelin' Pizza and a garden out back. Daytime hours are open to families, with the site listing it as family-friendly until 8 or 9pm, after which plenty of the evening gigs are 18+ only. That's a detail worth building your visit around rather than finding out at the door.
Food is a slice of pizza for £3.75 to £4, or a whole 18 inch for up to £26, which is decent value if you're feeding a few mouths before the room fills up. Event tickets run from £5 to £95 depending who's on, so it pays to know what you're booking before you commit to the pricier end.
Access is properly thought through: step-free into the venue and the garden, and an accessible toilet on site. The one snag is the garden exit itself, which the venue admits is too narrow for some wheelchairs and mobility scooters, so check the width if that matters to you. Disabled customers can get a free Personal Assistant ticket by emailing ahead.
Opening hours stretch late, especially Thursday to Saturday when it runs past midnight, so this isn't a venue built around a quick family pop-in. Think of the earlier part of the day as the family window and the evening as a separate, grown-up event.

Plan your visit
Is it actually family-friendly?
During the day, yes, it's listed as family-friendly until around 8 or 9pm. Plenty of the evening gigs are 18+, so it's not a venue for an evening out with the kids.
How much are tickets?
Event tickets typically run from £5 up to £95, depending on who's playing.
What's there to eat?
Pizza from Freewheelin' Pizza, on site. Slices are £3.75 to £4, whole 18 inch pizzas £20 to £26.
Is it wheelchair accessible?
Step-free access into the venue and garden, plus an accessible toilet. The garden exit is narrow though, only 692mm wide, so it may not suit larger wheelchairs or mobility scooters.
Are dogs allowed?
Service animals are welcome.
Do I need to book ahead for accessibility support?
If you or your child needs a free Personal Assistant ticket, email the venue beforehand to arrange it.
