🍳 Say bonjour to the Croque Madame! 🇫🇷 Our freshly made-to-order Croque Monsieur has had the ultimate upgrade: a fried egg + a lil nutmeg. Voilà. 👌 Now on the new menu alongside plenty more delicious toasties. Have you tried it yet? 👀🧀🍺 #NagsHeadReading #NewMenu #PubGrub

✨🐴 This is Nags energy at its finest. A quiet Monday. A few beers. Some doodling. A handful of impromptu artists. And somehow, we now have "The Heads" living in our fireplace. 👀👄 Weird. Wonderful. Completely unplanned. And brilliantly ours. Long may the weirdness continue. 🖤🤍

🌈 Psych! (0.5%) from Verdant: all the hoppy goodness of an IPA, without the hefty ABV. Whether you're pacing yourself, driving, or just fancy something a little lighter, we've got you covered. Good beer is good beer! 🍻

Not every pint needs to pack a punch. 🏋‍♂️ We've added a couple of seriously tasty easy-drinkers to the taps: 🍺 The Real Slim Shandy (2.8%) from Electric Bear: bright, zingy and ridiculously refreshing.
