Proper neighbourhood pub on Nottingham Road that pulls a genuine crowd without any fuss. Real ale, real people, no pretence.

You'll find The Tavern tucked away on Nottingham Road, the kind of place where regulars actually know the bar staff and conversations happen naturally across the room. It's unpretentious in the best way — no craft cocktails or Instagram-bait here, just solid pub basics done properly. The sort of spot where you can nurse a decent pint, watch the match if there's one on, and feel like you've stumbled into somewhere that's been going about its business for years without needing to shout about it.
