The Kingfisher

Head down Hawthorn Drive and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that actually feels like it belongs to Chantry rather than some chain template. The Kingfisher does what it does without the posturing — decent pints, straightforward food, and the sort of crowd that's been coming here for years. It's the place where locals settle in for an evening rather than Instagram their drink, though the consistently solid ratings suggest the kitchen knows what it's doing. You won't find craft cocktails or deconstructed anything here, which is precisely the point.
