You know a pub's got its priorities right when the cricket memorabilia feels authentic rather than forced. Named after Nottinghamshire's legendary fast bowling duo, this West Bridgford spot manages to be both a proper local and somewhere you'd happily bring visitors. The kitchen takes pub classics seriously – think generous portions that justify the prices and seasonal specials that change because they should, not because some consultant said so. The beer selection runs deeper than your average suburban pub, with local breweries well represented alongside the expected nationals. Come Sunday afternoon and you'll find a perfect mix of families finishing weekend roasts and locals settling in for the cricket highlights. It's the kind of place that makes West Bridgford feel less like a suburb and more like a village with excellent transport links.
