With Us
"Eat, drink and be merry...for tomorrow, we may diet"
We hope you enjoy your time with us and the offerings on our menus.
The 'Dog House' is the Kitchen and Smoke House here at Drovers Rest, opened in September 2020 to bring both our passions together; Beer and Food. Our main menu is our take on a classic pub menu, featuring our speciality; homemade sausages.
The Dog House Menu also features our Drovers take on 'pub grub' with a blend of Beer-inspired dishes. All designed to showcase the partnership of good food and good beer.
We aim to use locally-sourced ingredients to create food that showcases Tom's passion and creativity, whilst retaining that home- cooked, comfort-food feel.
We are passionate about our food, all sourced locally, and our menu changes throughout the year to reflect the seasonal produce we acquire from our trusted suppliers.
