Bread & Meat

You're on Bene't Street, that narrow medieval strip running between King's Parade and the Market Square, and you've ducked into Bread & Meat for lunch. It's the kind of place that doesn't overcomplicate things: good bread, good meat, done properly. The sort of spot locals actually return to rather than tourists ticking off boxes. With a 4.7 rating and nearly 1,600 reviews, people clearly rate what's happening here. At ££ pricing, it won't wreck your student loan, which explains why you'll find it packed most days with the King's College crowd and anyone else who appreciates straightforward, well-executed food without the faffing about.
