Golden Eagle

You'll find the Golden Eagle tucked into High Street's heritage stretch, where it's been pulling pints for locals who know what they want. It's a Castle Rock operation, so expect their rotating ales done right—none of that mass-market nonsense. The vibe is unpretentious and straightforward: wooden floors, regulars at the bar, conversation that actually happens because people aren't glued to their phones. It's the kind of place you pop into after work or at the weekend when you want a proper drink without any faffing about.
