Got a question for the Doctor...
Got a question before you arrive, hopefully we have an answer here, but if not just email us at drfoster@aruleoftum.com
We’re open from 9am for breakfast and brunch, through to lunch and dinner at 10pm. On Sundays we lunch with our award winning Sunday roasts.
Not at all, we encourage walk-ins and you will be welcomed and sat in one of our inviting spaces on arrival.
We welcome your fur family with open arms, they are welcome downstairs in our bar area, quayside, courtyard and conservatory. We only ask they remain well behaved and for paws on floors… we even have some comfy beds for the to relax too.
We are a pub as much as we are a kitchen. Stop by for a midday or after work drinks in the week, celebrate or unwind with us on weekends. Either way, walk-in, be welcomed and treated like a regular.
