Drinks & Nightlife

Traditional friendly pub that serves food all day (even breakfast) and my favourite bubbles. Sit outside by the river or in the cosy bar (2 levels so a nice space). Popular so arrive early!

Always a great experience to watch a game of rugby! Also a music venue for some of the bigger bands. Plenty of buses go there but also a nice walk (plus some nice rugby pubs such as the Turks Head in St Margarets on your way)
