Said Penny: “We are very happy to be able to take our homemade pub food directly to our customers - it is lovely to be able to offer this service particularly to those that are self isolating or elderly with doorstep drop offs as required.
“We are also exceedingly grateful for all the support we have been receiving - a real community spirit is emerging out of this extraordinary situation all round.”
The pub is offering free delivery within a four-mile radius or people can collect their orders direct from the pub.
