The New Penny

You'll find The New Penny tucked on Call Lane, that strip between the Calls and city centre where things feel properly local rather than polished. It's the kind of pub where people actually drink rather than Instagram their drinks—sticky carpets, honest prices, and whoever's behind the bar knows what they're doing. Walk in on a Friday afternoon and you've got regulars nursing pints alongside post-work crowds, the vibe genuinely mixed without feeling forced. Nothing fancy, nothing trying too hard. Just a proper pub doing what pubs do best.
