The Holyhead

You'll find this Ember Inn doing exactly what a good local should: serving proper pub food without any fuss and pouring pints that don't leave you questioning your choices. The Sunday roast draws families from across Coundon and beyond, while weekday lunches keep the place ticking over with a mix of regulars and office workers escaping the city centre. The menu sticks to what works – fish and chips, burgers, and steaks that won't win awards but won't disappoint either. It's the kind of place where you can bring your mum for lunch or settle in for a proper session with mates. The beer garden gets busy when the sun's out, and the staff actually seem to care about getting your order right.
