The King and Tinker

You're driving out past Whitewebbs Lane when suddenly there it is: a proper establishment that feels like it's been doing its thing for decades without needing to apologise for it. The King and Tinker has that comfortable, lived-in quality that comes from locals actually wanting to be there, not just passing through. There's real ale on tap, the kind of pub food that doesn't pretend to be anything fancier than it is, and enough room that you won't be standing shoulder-to-shoulder with thirty other people on a Friday night. It's the sort of place where you can imagine settling in for an afternoon with mates or bringing the family without anyone making a fuss about it.
