Duke Of Wellington

Walk up Wellington Street towards the town centre and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that doesn't need to shout about itself. The Duke pulls a reliable crowd of regulars who treat the place like an extension of their living room—which is precisely the point. You're getting traditional pub fare done right, proper cask ales that rotate with some thought, and staff who remember your order. It's the sort of place where conversations spill between tables and nobody's checking their phone every five seconds.
