Mash Tun

You'll find Mash Tun tucked away on Church Street, just north of the Lanes, where it's been quietly doing its thing without needing to shout about it. This is the kind of pub where locals actually drink — the sort of place you stumble into on a Tuesday afternoon and end up staying for three pints. The bar's well-stocked with craft beers and proper cask ales, and they take their drinks seriously without any of that try-hard nonsense. Food is straightforward and decent, the kind of stuff that tastes even better after a drink or two. The stripped-back interior feels lived-in rather than designed, with enough character to make you want to come back.
