This award-winning premises is now run by Rachel Raftery who is the 4th generation of Rafterys here and continues the long established tradition of great quality and hospitality

Rafterys Bar is ideal for that stopping off point; relax in the new modern lounge and enjoy excellent food – breakfast, lunch, evening meal or tasty snack.

Desserts are off the comforting kind, sticky toffee pudding, bread and butter pudding, apple crumble, and rhubarb pie.


Rafterys continues to carry the great vintage whiskeys they were alway known for and, of course other spirits, wines and locally crafted beers and ciders.


Pride is taken with the exterior part of the premises with hanging baskets, seasonal plants and flowers planted around the smoking area and carpark.
