The Bunch Of Grapes

Head down St John Street and you'll find this place doing what a good local should—nothing fancy, just solid. The Bunch of Grapes pulls in regulars who know what they're after: straightforward pub grub, reliable beers, and a room where you can actually hear yourself talk. It's the sort of spot where the staff remember your order and the atmosphere shifts throughout the day, from quiet lunchtime to proper buzzing when people finish work. Nothing pretentious about it, which is exactly why people keep coming back.
