The Sun

You'll spot The Sun by the steady stream of curious punters ducking inside this Victorian corner boozer on Exeter Road, just a stone's throw from the town centre. What started as a traditional local has morphed into something wonderfully bizarre – think pub meets art installation, with every available wall surface plastered in vintage postcards from around the globe. The drinks selection runs deep, with proper ales alongside decent wines and spirits, while the food keeps things satisfyingly pubby without trying too hard. It's the sort of place where you pop in for a quick pint and end up staying for hours, getting lost in conversations with strangers and trying to decode the stories behind thousands of faded holiday snaps. The late weekend hours make it a solid shout for those nights when everywhere else is winding down.
