The Tavern Bar on the corner of Bleeding Heart yard has had a history of conviviality stretching back to 1746, when its slogan was ‘drunk for a penny and dead drunk for two pence’.

That spirit of good cheer continues today with real ale from Adnams, an extensive range of wines by the glass and a great–value menu ranging from a Roast Suckling Pig on the spit downstairs, to a Grilled Lamb–Burger from Bleeding Heart's own organic lambs.

The Tavern is open for breakfast, with freshly squeezed orange juice, home–baked croissants and warm baguettes from Bleeding Heart's own bakery and very generous Full English. The Tavern is licensed from 7am so, yes, you can have a glass of Champagne with your Scrambled Eggs and Smoked Salmon.

Parties of up to 8 for lunch and up to 12 for dinner may order from our a La Carte menu. For tables of more than 12 we would suggest our £21.00 Prix Fixe Menu
