The Knox

You'll find The Knox tucked away on Knox Lane, just far enough from the town centre madness to feel like a proper local's spot. It's the kind of place where regulars actually know the bar staff by name, and you're not dodging hen parties at 9pm on a Saturday. The food's reliable—nothing that'll blow your mind, but the sort of stuff that tastes better with a pint in hand. Whether you're stopping by after work or heading here for Sunday lunch with mates, it does the fundamentals right: decent ales, honest portions, and a room that feels lived-in rather than designed-by-committee.
