We’re big on warmth, low on fussiness: stripped wood floors, high bar stools, painted brickwork and comfy leather banquettes. Sup your pint beside our polished-oak bar or tuck yourself away in the Snug behind the frosted glass partition. You can hear yourself talk, concentrate on the crossword or nod off quietly in the corner.To help keep everyone safe, our teams will continue to wear face masks and we'd love you to do the same when nentering and moving around the pub and dining room.Thank you for your continued support and understanding and we look forward to seeing you.

    Great restaurant serving terrific food. Started with monkfish cheeks and followed up with a lamb roast dinner. A very generous portion and along with roasts and vegetables all cooked perfectly. Highly recommend. Good choice of wines but all expensive. £30 for what was a basic red the cheapest available.

    We had a lovely meal and experience with one notable exception. Each of the 4 people who ordered the Pork main course were disappointed with their meal. We had expected a roast pork meal. The offering was altogether too firm and the plate entirely brown. This was a big disappointment to half of our party. The other half of the party were entirely happy.

    We recently attended Ember for a birthday celebration with a table of six, and I can honestly say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Every single person in our group commented that the food was some of the best they’ve ever had—each dish was beautifully prepared, full of flavour, and truly memorable. The staff were absolutely amazing—so hospitable and friendly, they went above and beyond to make the evening special for us. Their warm and attentive service turned a great meal into a wonderful experience. If you’re considering dining here, I couldn’t recommend it more highly. Whether it’s for a special occasion or just a nice evening out, Ember is a place you’ll want to visit again and again.
