Board and Barrel

Walk down High Street and you'll spot the kind of place that doesn't need neon signs or Instagram theatrics—just a solid reputation. Board and Barrel does exactly what it says on the tin: you get games to play, you get food that's actually good, and you get drinks that someone's thought about. It's the sort of venue where you can rock up for an afternoon with a board game and a pint, or book in for an evening when you actually want to eat properly. The ratings speak for themselves—locals aren't mucking about with nearly 5 stars.
