The Thunderton House

You'll find yourself in proper local territory here, tucked away on Thunderton Place with the kind of warm, unfussy atmosphere that actually makes you want to linger. The Thunderton House strikes that rare balance between gastropub ambition and genuine neighbourhood comfort—they're not trying too hard, which is exactly why it works. The food's respectable without being showy, the drinks list is thoughtfully put together, and there's a real sense that locals actually choose to come here rather than just passing through. It's the sort of place where you can rock up for a casual drink and end up staying for dinner, or vice versa.
