Apple Tree Inn

You're walking into the kind of pub that doesn't need to reinvent itself every other week. The Apple Tree sits on Central Drive doing what it does best: serving pints, hosting regulars who've probably occupied the same stool for years, and laying on food that won't embarrass anyone. It's got that comfortable, worn-in feeling where nobody's judging you for ordering a bitter and a packet of crisps at lunchtime. The ratings suggest people genuinely rate it—nearly 4 out of 5 across over 700 reviews speaks volumes in a town where standards matter. This is where you go when you want to disappear into a pub without pretence.
