Pinhoe Hoard

Head out to Pinhoe and you'll find yourself in a proper neighbourhood boozer that's been pulling pints and feeding locals for years. The Hoard sits on Bakers Way, the sort of street where everyone nods at each other, and it's got that comfortable, lived-in feel you can't manufacture. You're looking at a place that takes its real ales seriously without being precious about it, with a menu that leans into proper pub classics rather than chasing trends. It's the kind of spot where you can pop in for a quick one after work or settle in for the evening with mates, knowing you won't be rushed or charged London prices.
