FINALLY

THE ARK BAR is currently undergoing a complete facelift at this moment in time, due to reopen on the 6th September. When its all done, well still have our massive beer garden, spruced up of course, and were still going for the Really big screens are good for watching stuff approach. Everything else will be brand-spanking new, and were very excited about it. Of course, not everything needed a change; we kept the £2.50 weekend cocktails and other pocket-friendly stuff and our food menu is still full of great value meals but we have increased the range to provide you with more variety. One thing we are very excited about is that we will now be serving pizzas of both the savoury AND sweet variety.
I will be DJing at this event from 5 onwards…Get in touch if you want on list before 7pm for reception!


Best wishes
