The Little Ale House

An independent Craft Ale Micro Pub

Welcome to the ‘Little Ale’!

As we celebrate our 10th year, it offers a great chance to reflect on how the business has grown and changed.

We’ve said goodbye to key people in the Little Ale House creation journey. LAH particularly wouldn’t be where it is today without Danni and Mazza, and a massive thanks goes to them. You might bump into them in the pub on t’other side of the bar!

The team has grown and the journey continues. We will always look to adapt and reinvest in the Little Ale while never losing sight of why it’s so loved.

We had a fantastic tenth birthday party, with Stuzzi whipping up cracking food in the backyard. Most importantly, we were blessed with lots of regular faces enjoying a ‘cheers’… and the sun!

The extension sideways has been a great addition, providing more space for customers to enjoy the Little Ale vibes — the huge fireplace has been particularly popular.

In the second half of 2026, we’re looking to start some clubs — wine, whisky and of course beer.

Charlotte has successfully completed WSET level 2 wine course, so watch this space for new wine offerings.

After replacing our wonky backyard flooring, next in our sights is finally upgrading our toilets.

Thank you to all our customers and regulars — the pub wouldn’t be the same without you. You are all very much appreciated.

Lots of love, team Little Ale.

About Us

~ MICROPUB ~

Passionate believers in the dying art of the ‘proper’ country style pub, the Little Ale team champion conversation, micro breweries, and a warm rustic atmosphere; they completely shun TVs, background music and pub ‘gastroficiation’!

Ales & Ciders

~ MICROPUB ~

An ever changing range of fresh beers and ciders

Team LAH (Team Little Ale House) believes that the best beers are produced by small batch breweries who are passionate about their brews. As a result, the bar has an ever-evolving selection of ales brewed by independent microbreweries – change is the spice of life! There will always be a mix of strengths and styles, including stouts/porters.

At any given time, there will be up to 5 cask beers and 8 keg beers, including a gluten-free line. Big supporters of ‘fresh is best’, Team LAH endeavour to have the right ratio of beers to customers, so you know that the beer is in top nick.

Wines & Spirits

~ MICROPUB ~

A small, but well formed and growing, selection of wines and spirits

Local, handmade gins are championed, and you will be able to find the Whittakers and Harrogate gin range on our little gin shelf.
The team also enjoy their single malt whiskies, and there is an ever-changing selection of interesting Scotch.
On the wine side of things, we’ve tried to source some lovely drops from Argentina, Spain, France, Australia and even Albania!
