The Montpelier

The Montpelier draws a bustling crowd with its traditional styling, warm hospitality, and buzzing events programme. If you’re after club nights, quizzes, live jazz, or just a great space to meet friends or family, this is a top destination. There’s a typical interior with wooden floors and panelling, vibrant blue paintwork, and prints on the walls. Whether you sit inside or out, you’ll uncover a lively atmosphere and a place where the classic meets the modern.

The bar serves a varied choice of drinks, working with a number of breweries, vineyards, and distilleries to bring guests a unique selection. You’ll see locally-brewed beers, including cask and keg varieties, seasonal cocktails, and wines from all over the world including Spain, Lebanon, and even Devon. Food is also a big attraction, with a menu focusing on seasonal British produce. Many of the herbs and vegetables come from a neighbouring allotment, so you can be sure this really is locally-produced food. Menus change often but you can expect dishes like steak sandwiches, pickled sardines, and plant-based curry. Kids’ meals are served and there’s a Sunday roast. For private events, special party menus are on offer.

The Montpelier hosts vibrant events that add to the lively atmosphere. Join the pub quiz with a drag queen host, get dancing to DJs at weekends, or enjoy your Sunday roast or an afternoon drink to the sounds of a live jazz trio. Whichever day of the week you visit, there’s plenty of action at this colourful pub.
