Mackworth Arms

Head down to Laleston and you'll find the Mackworth Arms doing exactly what a neighbourhood pub should do—nothing fancy, just reliable. It's the sort of place where regulars prop up the bar and there's always something on, whether that's a quiz night or live music that actually gets people interested rather than drowning them out. The pub keeps things traditional without feeling stuck in the past, and the food hits the spot when you want something more than crisps and pork scratchings.
