Our freshly made-to-order Croque Monsieur has had the ultimate upgrade: a fried egg + a lil nutmeg. Voilà. 👌

Now on the new menu alongside plenty more delicious toasties.

✨🐴 This is Nags energy at its finest.

A quiet Monday. A few beers. Some doodling. A handful of impromptu artists.

Somehow, we now have "The Heads" living in our fireplace. 👀👄

Weird. Wonderful. Completely unplanned + brilliantly ours. Long may the weirdness continue. 🖤🤍

[The Nag's Head Reading @NagsHeadReading]

🍺 Plus plenty of cracking beers on the taps, including some Oktoberfest-y numbers and this beauty from Thornbridge x Brasserie de la Senne.

Here’s to carrying those weekend vibes into the week! 🍻

[The Nag's Head Reading @NagsHeadReading]
