Palmerston Arms

You'll find yourself in Woodston at the Palmerston Arms, where this isn't about craft cocktails or Instagram-baiting plates. It's a proper boozer—the kind where regulars have their spots, the landlord knows your name by the second visit, and the beer selection actually matters. The kind of place that's been doing the same job for decades without feeling the need to reinvent itself. It's got that lived-in warmth that only comes from years of people actually wanting to be there, not because it's fashionable, but because it's genuinely good.
