Horse & Groom

You'll find yourself walking into the kind of pub that still feels like it belongs to the community rather than a chain. The Horse & Groom sits on Wilton Road with that comfortable, lived-in warmth you want when you're after a pint and some proper food—no faffing about with molecular gastronomy or craft cocktails you can't pronounce. The crowd's mixed: families grabbing Sunday lunch, after-work drinkers catching up, locals who've been coming for years. It's the sort of place where the noise level tells you it's doing something right, and the fact that people keep coming back speaks louder than any review ever could.
