About Alpaca
Comfort food served in a fashionable independent gastropub featuring an event room & a patio.
Closed for approx 2 months from beginning of Jan 2020 for a comprehensive refurb and now reopened as The Alpaca - we were reassured this would not have any impact upon its listed features.
Three cask beers available in md Sept 2021. The operators seem to be linked to those operating the King William IV.
The drinking area comprises several distinct spaces around a central bar with a lot of original wood panelling. There is now a new upstairs seating area with a bar (no cask) and is available to hire.

Its a charming pub, but the Sunday roast didn’t live up to my standards. The beef one was good, but the chicken one - oh boi, it was dry and bland, but you would think that the dryness was due to the crispy skin, but no! Drinks were good, staff is excellent, super friendly, so we will come again, but not for the food though🙈

This public house is the perfect place to spend hours relaxing in one of their comfy spaces, enjoying drinks and good food. We spent a great part of our Saturday afternoon here, and it was a very soothing and enjoyable moment. The staff is very nice and friendly, and makes you feel like home. Thanks

Drinks is pub quality, less taste. Outside seat is great. £10 for each

Amazing place, a lot of spaces, decent food and a lot of choices of tap beer. Friendly staff and bubbly atmosphere. Another gem discovered. A+++

Had been here on a Friday evening in early August and had quite a nice evening, so booked it for dinner on Saturday just gone. Food was fine, service was decent (and friendly), but the loud music made it nigh on impossible to talk, which is something I generally like to do over dinner. If you want to be a place that has a DJ and thumping tunes on a Saturday night, fine, no problem - that's up to you. But maybe don't take dinner bookings?
