The Lord Roberts

You'll find yourself on Broad Street's slightly quieter stretch, where The Lord Roberts sits as a proper local's pub rather than another chain-heavy tourist trap. Walk in and you're met with that comforting pub atmosphere—wooden floors, a solid bar, and the kind of crowd that's been coming here for years because it just works. The real draw is the ale selection; they take their beer seriously here without being pretentious about it, and the food hits that sweet spot between unpretentious and actually well-made. It's the sort of place where you can pop in for a quick pint after work or settle in for a proper evening without feeling like you need to dress up or book ahead.
