Rufford

Head down Chesterfield Road towards the south of town and you'll find yourself in proper pub territory. The Rufford's the sort of place where regulars actually know the staff's names and you won't feel weird ordering a pint on your own. It's got that warm, lived-in feel — the kind of spot that's been doing the same thing for years and hasn't felt the need to Instagram itself. The food's solid (think traditional pub fare that actually tastes like someone made it), the drinks list respects both ale enthusiasts and casual drinkers, and it's the type of venue where you can have a quiet midweek evening or bump into half the neighbourhood on a Friday night.
