The Lane Ends

Head down Norman Lane towards the older end of town and you'll find The Lane Ends doing what it does best: being exactly what a neighbourhood pub should be. This isn't the sort of place that's trying to Instagram itself into relevance—it's just reliably good, the kind of spot where regulars know the bar staff's names and the drinks are poured with actual care. You're looking at decent cask ales, a no-nonsense approach to hospitality, and the sort of atmosphere that makes you want to settle in rather than rush through.
