Welcome to The Drum & Monkey

A  friendly local pub where great value, great entertainment and a relaxed atmosphere come together. Whether you’re stopping by for a drink, meeting friends to watch the big game, or bringing the family out for the afternoon, there’s always something happening here.

We’re proud to offer a fantastic value drinks line-up, with a wide range of beers, ciders, wines, spirits and soft drinks to suit every taste and budget. Our pub is also the perfect place to catch live sport on the big screens, so you never miss the action from football, darts, F1 and more.

The Drum & Monkey is more than just a place to drink — it’s a place to socialise. Enjoy our 
regular live entertainment, challenge friends to a game of pool or darts, or relax outside in our large beer garden. With a covered seating area and a kids’ play area, it’s a great spot for families as well as groups of friends.

Whether you’re joining us for a lively night out, a sunny afternoon in the garden, or to cheer on your team, The Drum & Monkey is the perfect place to enjoy great company.
