A little bit about us…
Pub & Dining encapsulates the relaxed atmosphere of a suburban local pub. If you love getting to know guests, building a community of customers, serving and giving friendly advice about our range of products and are passionate about serving good quality, hearty pub classics, then a career with Pub & Dining could be for you. Since 1733, a pub has always stood on this site, beginning as The Catherine’s Wheel and starting a new life as St James Tavern when the current building was built in 1896. Today, it still retains some etched glass and tiled paintings representing Shakespearean scenes from its past, but the elements of the traditional don't end there. Our wonderful food menu brings time-honoured British dishes into the present with little premium twists, from indulgent Sunday roasts to hearty pies, desserts and more. Our drinks range encompasses everything from local cask and craft ales to wines, spirits and artisan cocktails, making us the perfect spot for a bit of relaxation for shoppers, theatre-goers and tourists alike.
