Master Brewer

You'll find the Master Brewer tucked away on Perries Mead, the kind of local that actually feels like it's for locals rather than trying too hard. It's the place you pop into on a Friday after work, not somewhere you need to book three weeks in advance or dress up for. The real pull here is straightforward pub grub that doesn't pretend to be anything fancier than it is, paired with a solid selection of beers—you're getting proper ales here, the kind worth actually talking about. It's the sort of spot where regulars have their spots at the bar and staff remember your order, which says everything about how they run things.
