The Greyhound

You'll find this proper neighbourhood pub tucked away on Henley Road, the sort of place where regulars prop up the bar but newcomers never feel like they're intruding. The beer garden out back is surprisingly spacious and well-kept – a proper sun trap when the weather plays ball, which makes it one of the better spots in this part of town for a pint al fresco. The kitchen knows what it's doing with classic pub fare, turning out generous portions that won't leave you feeling ripped off. Nothing revolutionary, but executed well enough that you'll actually want to come back for the food rather than just tolerating it. Staff are genuinely sound – the kind who remember your usual after a couple of visits but won't chat your ear off if you're clearly not in the mood.
