Cleo

New owners, same little pub on South Street. I'll make sure the treat arrangements are still in order.

Bonnie

Pies and chops upstairs, a beer garden out back. My nose already knows which way to go.

The pawrents

The Snowdrop on South Street, built where the 1836 avalanche came down and named after it, has new owners, Harry and Sally Fields, since October 2026.

More from the pawrents

Downstairs is a drinkers' pub with Harvey's and Beak on the bar; upstairs is a dining room for pies, chops and British dishes. Open Tuesday to Sunday with food from noon, closed Sunday evening and Monday. Dogs have been welcome throughout, with water, treats and a dog menu; ask how it works upstairs under the new owners.
