The Park Tavern

Walk into The Park Tavern and you'll immediately feel the pull of a proper neighbourhood boozer. It's the sort of place where the bar staff remember what you drink, where the wood panelling has absorbed decades of conversations, and where a Friday night means genuine banter rather than Instagram moments. You're looking at solid pub grub—think pies, proper burgers, classic comfort food—paired with a rotating selection of real ales that changes often enough to keep things interesting. The 4.6-star rating speaks volumes: locals keep coming back because it does the fundamentals right, without trying too hard or charging over the odds.
