Park House

Park House sits right there on the edge of the university campus, but don't let that put you off. It's the kind of place where you'll find postgrads nursing a proper pint alongside actual locals who've been coming here for years. The interior feels lived-in rather than corporate—wood panelling, worn-in furniture, the sort of pub that's seen plenty of nights but refuses to feel tired. Food's proper pub fare, nothing fancy but executed well enough that you're not just eating something to soak up the beer.
