The Rainbow

Walk down Rockingham Place and you'll find The Rainbow doing what it does best: being the sort of pub where everyone knows your order. It's got that lived-in feel that comes from years of actually being part of the neighbourhood rather than trying to look the part. The real ales rotate properly, the staff actually chat to you, and the food sits somewhere between traditional pub fare and something worth leaving your sofa for—think proper pies and the kind of stews that make winter bearable. It's not fancy, and it doesn't pretend to be. Just honest drinking and eating in a space that feels genuinely local.
