The Orion

Head down to Withington and you'll find The Orion doing exactly what a neighbourhood pub should: existing without fanfare. It's the kind of place where regulars have their spot, the landlord knows what you drink, and the conversation flows as freely as the pints. Burton Road's got that residential, unpretentious vibe, and this pub fits right into it—no craft beer snobbery, no Instagram theatre, just honest hospitality. You're walking into somewhere that feels lived-in and genuine, the sort of boozer that's probably been keeping the community ticking over for years without needing to shout about it.
