The Beaufort Arms

Head down London Road towards the Pittville end and you'll find The Beaufort Arms doing what good local restaurants should: serving proper food without faffing about. It's the kind of place where regulars genuinely seem pleased to bump into each other, and the kitchen clearly knows what it's doing. You're not paying for Instagram moments here—you're paying for plates that actually taste like someone cared, in a space that feels lived-in rather than designed by committee. The fact that it's consistently pulling 4.6 stars across 140 reviews tells you something about the staying power.
