Regional Manager's Thoughts The Griffin enjoys regular custom from the locals although this is significantly boosted throughout the year with visiting tourists as an already established and a well-known iconic pub and is a fantastic opportunity for an operator who is ready to drive a quality family friendly food offering and to maximise the seasonal trade opportunity by utilising the garden to its full potential.
