The Station Inn

Walk down Station Road and you'll find yourself at a proper old-school inn that actually feels like somewhere locals come to drink rather than a themed tourist trap. The Station Inn trades on its genuine heritage—this place has the bones of a Victorian railway hotel, and that history isn't dressed up or ironically weaponised, it just is. You'll get a warm welcome whether you're after a pint of real ale, a casual meal, or somewhere to stay the night. It's the sort of place where regulars have their spots and newcomers feel immediately at ease, which is rarer than you'd think in market towns these days.
