The Clock House

Walk into The Clock House on High Street and you're in proper local territory—the kind of place where regulars have their spot at the bar and the staff know what you're having before you ask. It's unpretentious in the best way, with a grill menu that sticks to what works: steaks, burgers, the kind of food that doesn't need reinvention. The drinks list keeps things straightforward too, which means you can actually relax instead of deciphering some elaborate cocktail menu. Whether you're after a midweek dinner or somewhere to settle in for the evening with mates, it does the job without any nonsense.
