The Cherry Tree is very much a pub that does food rather than a restaurant with a bar. Therefore, a true pub atmosphere is what this place is about. If you like good beer or wine, and a true throwback to a traditional pub, then it is a convenient local to enjoy a night out. Watch out for quiz nights and they sometimes have local bands on, so check out their ‘What’s on’ boards
