William Twigg Pub

You'll find yourself in a neighbourhood stalwart that actually gets the pub thing right. William Twigg sits on Great Hollands Square, which means it's accessible enough for a quick pint after work but far enough from the town centre bustle to feel like a genuine locals' spot rather than a chain operation. The place does solid pub food and keeps a respectable drinks selection—the kind of venue where regulars know the staff and newcomers don't feel out of place. It's the sort of pub you'd genuinely want to return to, rather than somewhere you'd force yourself through.
