your local, reimagined!
From morning coffee to live music nights — everyone’s welcome at The Flying Horse
👋 Hey, we're sarah and giulio
We never set out to run a pub, but in 2024 we found ourselves with the chance to save The Flying Horse — and we couldn’t walk away. What started as a leap of faith turned into the biggest adventure of our lives.
We’ve worked hard to turn The Flying Horse into a place where everyone feels welcome — whether you’re here for a quiet coffee in the morning, a family meal, or a lively night of music and laughter.
This is more than just a pub to us; it’s a home for the community, and we’re proud to be part of its story.
WHAT'S ON?
Your guide to what’s coming up at The Flying Horse...

Sandwiches, cake and tea will be served, and anyone over 65 can enjoy a sandwich and cake for £2. Everyone welcome, so come down, share a cuppa and a story, and mark the day together.
