The Old Vic

You'll find The Old Vic tucked along Fishergate, where it's been pulling pints and serving up straightforward pub grub for years. This is proper local territory—the kind of place where regulars know the bar staff by name and the jukebox still plays actual records. The vibe is unpretentious and welcoming, with enough character in its corners to feel lived-in rather than designed. It's the sort of pub that works for a quick after-work drink, a lazy Sunday session, or when you actually want food that doesn't apologise for itself.
