The Country Girl

You'll find The Country Girl tucked away on Raddlebarn Road, a proper local where the bar staff actually know your name (or will by the third visit). It's the kind of place where you can nurse a pint and a pie without anyone making you feel rushed, and where Sunday roasts bring in families who've been coming for years. The menu sticks to what it does well—burgers, steaks, traditional pub classics—all reasonably priced and unfussy. There's a genuine mix of ages and types in here: uni students, retired locals, couples on date nights. The ales rotate, so there's always something worth trying if you're into that sort of thing.
