The Poachers Inn

Proper country pub on the edge of town with real ale, decent food, and the kind of service that makes you feel welcome.

Head out towards Ide and you'll find yourself at a proper local's pub that's somehow managed to stay unpretentious whilst serving the sort of food that actually tastes like someone cares. The Poachers has that lived-in feel—creaky floors, real fires, the lot—without trying too hard to be anything it's not. You come here for a decent pint, decent company, and meals that won't disappoint. It's the sort of place where regulars prop up the bar but you don't feel like an outsider walking in, and the staff remember your order.
