The Iron Dragon

Proper local boozer on Castle Street where the ale flows and the banter's genuine—no pretence, just good times.

Head down to Castle Street and you'll find The Iron Dragon doing what it does best: being the sort of pub where regulars know the staff by name and newcomers feel welcome within five minutes. It's got that lived-in feel that comes from decades of serving the community—the kind of place where you'll overhear proper conversations, not Instagram moments. You're looking at a traditional pub setup: decent selection of ales, the sort of spirits cabinet that's actually been used, and a vibe that shifts from quiet midweek to properly lively when the football's on or there's a decent crowd in.
