Our Comunity Values

The Elm Tree Inn has been a vital part of our community, providing a welcoming and inclusive space for residents and visitors alike. Beyond serving as a place to enjoy food and drinks, The Elm Tree Inn is a community hub that fosters social connections, supports local events, and contributes significantly to the local economy. 

For many, The Elm Tree is more than just a pub—it’s a gathering place where neighbours meet as friends, and where people from all walks of life come together. It offers a warm, inviting atmosphere that promotes social cohesion and provides a safe, comfortable setting for people to meet, talk, and support one another. With no bus service and disability access, it’s a safe place for the elderly and those with mobility issues to meet.

Linking with local colleges we can offer workplace training placements for youngsters. The Elm Tree Inn also regularly hosts local clubs, walkers and cycling groups, and social groups, contributing to the diversity and vibrancy of our neighbourhood.

As a local business, The Elm Tree Inn plays a crucial role in our local economy. The pub sources a portion of its goods and services from local suppliers, which further stimulates economic growth. The presence of The Elm Tree Inn also attracts visitors and foot fall from walkers, bird watchers and cyclists, benefitting nearby caravan parks and holiday letting businesses. In doing so, The Elm Tree Inn contributes to the overall prosperity of not just our local community but also the wider community.

The Elm Tree Inn is dedicated to supporting the community through various charitable initiatives. Whether hosting fundraisers, donating a portion of its profits, or organising events for local causes, The Elm Tree Inn demonstrates a commitment to giving back. It frequently partners with local charities and organizations, helping to raise funds and awareness for causes that directly impact our community. These include the RNLI, MacMillan and the RBL Poppy appeal 

The Elm Tree Inn is not just a place to unwind; it’s a venue that enriches our local culture. From hosting live music nights, quizzes and themed evenings, The Elm Tree Inn is an important site for cultural activities and entertainment. These events bring people together, add to our community’s unique character, and provide an accessible option for recreation. The rich history of the Elm Tree Inn only adds to the cultural value.
