The Jolly Fisherman

You're walking along East Beach, maybe heading back from the seafront, and The Jolly Fisherman just appears—exactly where it should be. This is the kind of pub that feels like it's been serving the same crowd for decades, and honestly, that's the whole appeal. Order the fish and chips (they actually know what they're doing with batter), grab a pint of something local, and settle in by the window. It's packed with the sort of people who live here rather than visit, which tells you everything you need to know.
