Farmers Arms

You'll find the Farmers Arms tucked away on Holloway, the sort of place where regulars have their usual spot and the barkeeper knows what you drink before you ask. It's got that lived-in feel that comes from actually being part of the community rather than trying to look the part—creaky wooden floors, worn leather, the kind of patina you can't fake. The real draw here is the food: proper pub fare done right, the sort of meals that justify a trip away from town centre chains. Come for a pint and a conversation, stay because you can't quite bring yourself to leave.
