If football is your sport, may the best team win. ⚽️

In the meantime, we are now closed until Wednesday at 4 pm, although always happy to open should you require some wine/beer supplies to take away. Message the bar and we will try to help you out.

Thanks to everyone for your support this week, whether by drinking in the premises or for takeaways. It is tough for the hospitality business at the moment and every purchase helps to keep us open.

Over the next few days our 3 new members of staff will appear at The Craft Bar.

Donald, Kevin and Patryk have different life experiences and they will all bring something different to the bar and customer experience.

We hope you will welcome them and allow them time to settle in. Please remember that they will not know that you have a special glass, what tonic you like and whether you like one lump or two of ice. 🧊 😂
