Fantastic gastropub with beautifully preserved interiors. It has a local vibe yet people come from far and wide to for the famous Sunday roasts, which, while more refined than most, still pack a punch. Bookings for Sunday lunch are essential. For a great weeknight snack with a drink, order the buns of the day

A truly unique venue - it looks like it hasn't changed since the '70s and it most definitely hasn't. The name is not a hipster joke, this is one of the last remaining local institutions and that also happens to host bizarre club nights like 'Trash from Outer Space'. Worth a go for a totally different night out
