Polly's Brew Co.

You'll find yourself out at Holland Farm on the Black Brook road, away from the town centre bustle, which is entirely the point. Polly's operates on its own terms—they're brewing their own beer in-house and they're not trying to be anything other than a proper neighbourhood brewpub. The space has that comfortable, lived-in feel of somewhere that doesn't need to try too hard because locals already get it. Food here matters too; this isn't just a boozer with a token menu. The ratings speak for themselves: 4.9 stars across 58 reviews tells you everything about consistency and care.
