The William Rufus - JD Wetherspoon

You'll find yourself on Botchergate in the heart of town, stepping into a place that does exactly what it says on the tin. The William Rufus is the kind of pub where locals actually drink—no nonsense, no faffing about. You can nurse a £1.99 coffee in the morning, catch a match on the telly with your mates, or settle in for one of their reliable meals that won't leave your wallet weeping. It's the sort of place that works equally well for a quick solo pint after work or a gathering of the usual suspects, with enough space that you're not fighting for elbow room.
