Unicorn

Head down Unicorn Lane and you'll find yourself in the kind of local that actually feels like it belongs to the community rather than some corporate chain playbook. This is the Hungry Horse formula done well — decent pub grub, generous portions, and prices that won't have you checking your bank balance twice. You're looking at mains around £8-12, which in today's climate is refreshing. The crowd's mixed: families grabbing an early dinner, regulars nursing their pints, groups of mates catching up over a few beers. Nothing pretentious about it, nothing trying too hard.
