Good food. Proper pints. Questionable history.

Come for the pint.
Stay for the story.

Ye Olde Tadger is an independent English pub serving hearty food, well-kept beer and the sort of welcome that does not require a reservation. Records suggest there has been an alehouse here since 1647. The records become less reliable after that.

According to the archives

The pub allegedly burned down in 1712, moved twelve feet to the left in 1783 and was briefly owned by a man who did not exist.

Food & drink

Pub food that knows what it is.

Proper pies, fish and chips, Sunday roasts, bar snacks worth ordering twice and a line-up of cask, keg and bottled favourites behind the bar.

From the kitchen

Comforting classics, seasonal specials and absolutely no need to explain what the foam is.

Pint of cask ale on the bar at Ye Olde Tadger

Behind the bar

Cask ales, proper lagers, cider, stout, wine and several spirits that have outlived at least one landlord.

Well kept. Sensibly poured.
