The Running Horse

You're walking into the kind of pub that feels like it's been there forever—all dark wood, worn leather, and the sort of warm lighting that makes everyone look better. The Running Horse sits just off Piazza Walk, pulling in locals who know the difference between a decent pint and the rest, plus the occasional visitor who stumbles upon it and immediately understands why it's got such solid reviews. The food side is taken seriously here; this isn't just a drinking spot where crisps are the main event. It's the sort of place where you'll see people settling in for proper meals alongside those just grabbing a quick drink after work.
