The Percy Arms

Head out towards Chilworth and you'll find yourself in proper pub territory. The Percy Arms is the kind of place that doesn't try too hard but gets it right—you know the sort, where regulars have their spots and the bar staff actually remember your name. It's got that warm, slightly worn-in feeling that only comes from doing the same thing well for ages. The menu's straightforward and honest: pies that taste like they mean it, Sunday roasts that'll sort you out, the kind of food that doesn't apologise for itself. There's usually something decent on tap, and they clearly care about their beer selection without making a fuss about it. Whether you're after a quick pint after work or settling in for the afternoon, it slots into your life without any pretence.
