Bar and kitchen
We are Cru Bar Dining, a small bar and kitchen where the taps change with the seasons and the plates are built to share. Come in for one pint or settle in for the evening.
Tables and groups
Whether it is a quiet pint on a Tuesday or a table for ten on a Saturday, we will find you a spot.
We reply within one working day and quotes cost nothing.
From our regulars
We came in for one drink and stayed for three hours. The staff talked us through every beer on tap without a hint of pushiness, and the small plates kept arriving at just the right pace. It has become our Friday place.

Regular customerA proper local bar with a kitchen that clearly cares. The taps rotate often enough that there is always something new, and the staff remember what you liked last time. We bring visitors here when we want to show off the town.

Local residentHow a visit works
Send us a message with the date, the rough time and the size of your group, and mention anything we should know about the occasion.
We look at what is already booked, tell you honestly what is free, and suggest a table or area that suits the shape of your evening.
Once you confirm, we set the table aside and talk through how much food to order, so nothing is wasted and nobody leaves hungry.
Come in at your time, take your seats, and let the team bring the drinks and plates out as the table is ready for them.
What we pour and plate
Twelve lines kept in good condition, covering pale ales, stouts, lagers and sours, with the list changing as kegs run out and seasons turn.
A short list of bottled and canned beers for anyone who wants something stronger, rarer or simply different from what is on the taps.
Plates arrive as they are ready rather than all at once, so a table can order a few at a time and add more as the evening goes on.
Mixed boards of cheese, cured meat and pickles, sized for four or more, which suit a group that cannot decide what to order.
A modest wine list, a couple of ciders and proper soft drinks for the people at the table who are not drinking beer that night.
We take bookings for larger tables, birthdays and low-key work gatherings, and we will talk through food and drink beforehand.
