We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year, and it was fantastic to see so many familiar faces visiting our pubs over the festive season.

Mark and Mark would like to start by saying a huge thank you to our amazing team for working so hard during the busy Christmas season. So many of our customers have said what an incredible team we have. So, thank you.

If you are new to us, then we’re delighted to welcome you to the Inn The Sticks Collection of Pubs – a group of characterful pubs where great food, well-kept drinks, and great British hospitality are always on the menu.

Our current collection proudly includes:
🍻 The Langley Tap
🍺 The Wellesley Arms
🍷 The Neeld Arms

Each pub has its own unique character, yet all share the same commitment to quality, comfort, and warm friendly service.

The Langley Tap was our first pub and continues to hold a special place in our hearts.

We are thrilled to share that we have a new Head Chef, Emma, who joined us at the end of 2025 and is reinvigorating the Tap’s menu, bringing with her a passion for seasonal cooking, bold flavours, and beautifully crafted dishes.

Emma was Head Chef at Weaving Shed in Bradford on Avon, where she was accredited with a rosette for her dishes.  Emma is joined by our new Sous Chef, Richard, who has moved with his family to Wiltshire after heading up various hotel kitchens in Jersey.

Mark and Mark are very much looking forward to working with Emma and Richard to ensure the Langley Tap continues to offer exciting and memorable dining experiences for all our guests.

The Neeld Arms continues to shine, following it joining our collection in late 2024.

We’re delighted to have launched our tasty new winter menus at The Neeld, where our Head Chef, Adam, and Mark have created the perfect menu for these colder months - whether it’s a hearty goulash or our well-loved steak and ale pie, or something lighter with our delicious one pot baked hake, there’s something for everyone.

Since acquiring The Neeld we’ve been working on refurbishing all guest areas.  In October, we launched our new cosy West Wing dining room, and during December, we completed the 5th guest bedroom refurbishment, resulting in a fresh and comfortable space ready to welcome guests.

Whether you’re popping in for a cosy evening, a hearty meal, or a catch-up with friends, the Neeld Arms team are looking forward to welcoming you.

They’re back – and better than ever! Our hugely popular fixed-price Light Lunch menus return this January and have a fresh new addition: for January we are offering the option of upgrading to full-sized hearty portions. And, for January only, the fixed price menus will be available lunchtimes and dinner times, Monday to Friday, offering top-quality dishes at feel-good prices, across all our pubs.

Finally, we’re not stopping with 3 amazing pubs… The Inn The Sticks Collection is growing! A fantastic new pub is joining us in February - we can’t wait to reveal more soon! The perfect way to kick off the year – with another great pub joining the collection, providing another place where you can experience all we offer.

Across the collection, you’ll find:
🍻 Carefully poured beers and ales, including local favourites
🍽️ New seasonal menus made with quality and (wherever possible) local ingredients
🔥 Warm, welcoming spaces full of charm and character
🌿 Great settings for relaxed lunches, cosy evenings, special celebrations or large gatherings

Whether you’re joining us at The Langley Tap for a casual pint and a taste of our new Head Chef’s creations; enjoying a glass or wine, a meal or attending a large social gathering at The Wellesley Arms, or visiting The Neeld Arms for a Cotswold getaway, our teams are passionate about making every visit feel special.

Thank you for supporting our pubs and being part of the InnThe Sticks community. We look forward to welcoming you in early 2026.

Warm regards,

The Inn The Sticks Team
Delicious food & drinks. Cosy pubs. Great British hospitality.
