Corner House

You'll find Corner House doing exactly what a neighbourhood pub should—nothing fancy, just reliable. It's the sort of place where regulars prop up the bar and there's always someone nursing a pint and a paper, which honestly feels increasingly rare these days. The food won't blow your mind but it's straightforward and honest: pies, burgers, the usual suspects done decently enough that you'll actually want to come back. Heaton's got plenty going on round there, but this spot feels like the anchor—the one where you can just be yourself without any of the faffing about.
