The Ely is a traditional English country hotel and pub with red-brick walls covered in ivy, pan-tiled roof and a friendly home-from-home atmosphere. The whole look is spacious, light and airy with a modern feel and it has mixed seating areas including sofas. Cask ale can be enjoyed by an open fire in the bar in the winter and in the al fresco beer garden. Three real ales are available from the Greene King range including a house beer Adam's Ale, believed to be Hardy & Hanson Bitter. Food is served all day including breakfast, with special themed food nights, such as curry Monday & Tuesday and a Sunday carvery.
