The Old Horse

You'll find yourself on London Road in a pub that feels like it's been pulling pints in the same spot for decades—because it has. The Old Horse is the kind of place where regulars have their spots at the bar, conversation hums along naturally, and the bartender knows what you're after before you ask. It's unpretentious in the best way: solid real ales on tap, decent pub grub that doesn't overcomplicate itself, and the sort of genuine warmth you don't manufacture. Come for a quick pint after work or settle in for the afternoon; either way, you'll understand why nearly 2,000 people have rated this place. It's not trying to be anything other than what it is—a proper local's pub.
