Radcliffe Arms

Head down to Westgate and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that actually feels like it belongs to the people who drink in it. The Radcliffe Arms isn't trying to be anything other than what it is — a straightforward neighbourhood local with the sort of clientele who know what they want and aren't interested in faffing about. You'll get proper pints, the sort of food that sticks to your ribs, and a crowd that ranges from after-work drinkers to regulars who've probably got their own mug behind the bar. It's the type of place where conversation happens naturally, where the telly might be on but nobody's glued to it, and where you can actually hear yourself think.
