Ginger Goose

You'll find this straightforward boozer right in the thick of Market Street's hustle, perfectly positioned for a quick pint after battling the shops or dodging the buses. The Ginger Goose doesn't try to be anything flash – it's just a proper pub that knows its audience. The kind of place where office workers pop in for lunch, shoppers grab a breather, and locals settle in for the evening. The food menu covers all the pub classics without any pretentious nonsense, and they pour a decent pint that won't break the bank. It's open from 10am every day, which makes it handy for those who fancy an early drink or need somewhere reliable in the city centre that's not a chain. Nothing revolutionary, but sometimes that's exactly what you want.
