From Canada to South Stoke

February 4, 2026

Opening The Perch & Pike a month before Christmas, much of Richard’s focus was on the festive season. He said:

“We had a fantastic first holiday period, with so many locals coming in to support us at the start of our journey here. That really meant a lot to us.”

Richard has brought a slice of Canada with him, in the shape of ‘Wing Wednesday’, offering customers Canadian style chicken wings with one of 22 different homemade sauces, all from just £6.95. The Sunday Roast has also proved a hit and there’s a Ladies Night one Thursday a month.

Good luck to Richard and the team!
