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.
