At JW Lees we’re as proud of our home cooked pub food as we are of our award-winning cask ales. We’re also famous for our great value Sunday Roast, but to find out how good it is, you’ll have to come and give it a try.

We offer a great selection of pub classics producing honest, British pub food with seasonal daily specials. There are plenty of spots inside the pub to cosy up and tuck into one of our homemade cheese and onion pies, signature burgers or our 28 day matured British steaks.
