Princess Charlotte
I'm part of the Chicken & Grill family!
Chicken & Grill No. 12 – a McMullen’s pub since 2017 and the first pub anywhere to be named after William & Kate’s second child!
A purpose built pub oozing character, boasting a defined bar area for those just wanting a locally crafted beer, cocktail or glass of wine, with a spacious yet comfy restaurant so that all the family can enjoy one of our specialities which include freshly spit-roasted chicken followed by a hand-made ice cream sundae. There’s a huge patio to enjoy when the sun shines which make this pub a perfect stop off on a trip to the local retail park all year round.
Our Garden Room is ideal for groups, meetings, or privacy. It’s available from early until late so if you’re interested in booking us for your event, please click Private Hire to find out more and get in touch!
The team look forward to greeting you.
