Crown and Anchor

You'll find the Crown and Anchor tucked away on Park Road, the kind of pub that's been pulling pints for locals for years without needing to reinvent itself. It's got that lived-in feel—wooden bar, familiar faces, the sort of place where regulars have their own spots. The real draw here is that it doesn't take itself seriously, but it doesn't cut corners either. The kitchen turns out proper pub food that goes down brilliantly with a pint, and the drinks selection punches above its weight for the area. It's the sort of place you'd recommend to a mate visiting from out of town, not because it's flashy, but because it's genuinely good.
