Station Pilot

Head out towards Jack Mills Way and you'll find yourself in the kind of local that doesn't need to try too hard—it just works. Station Pilot's got that comfortable, unpretentious feel where regulars know the bar staff and visitors don't feel like they're intruding on someone else's living room. The food's straightforward and honest (think proper pub fare rather than anything fancy), the drinks selection won't disappoint, and there's genuine warmth to the place. It's the sort of spot you'd genuinely recommend to someone asking where locals actually drink, not where tourists should go.
