Thomas A Becket

You'll find yourself on St James' Road heading towards the town centre when you stumble into the Thomas A Becket—and it feels like exactly where you're meant to be. This isn't a gastropub trying too hard; it's genuinely good at what it does. The sort of place where you can grab a proper pint, settle into worn-in furniture, and actually hear conversation happening around you. Food-wise, they're not mucking about with foam or pretension, just solid, well-made pub fare that doesn't leave you disappointed. It's become a proper focal point for locals who've clearly voted with their feet—602 reviews don't lie.
