The Walnut Tree Bar & Restaurant

You'll find yourself heading out towards Runcton, away from the Cathedral's shadow, to discover what's become one of those places locals actually return to. The Walnut Tree occupies that sweet spot between relaxed neighbourhood restaurant and somewhere you'd take someone you want to impress—beamed ceilings and decent wine list included. The kitchen takes British staples seriously without the stuffiness, turning out proper plates that taste like someone cares. It's the kind of spot where you can roll up for a casual midweek dinner and feel genuinely welcome, or book ahead for something more considered on a Friday night.
