Priory

You'll find the Priory doing exactly what a good pub should do—serving decent pints and food without trying too hard. It's the kind of place locals genuinely settle into, whether you're after a quick drink after work or something more substantial. The Greene King chain could've phoned it in here, but this spot manages to feel like it's got its own character, with enough regulars to keep things grounded and friendly without being cliquey.
