The Broadfield

Head down to Nether Edge and you'll find The Broadfield doing what a good local should: serving the neighbourhood proper meals and drinks without any faffing about. It's the kind of place where regulars prop up the bar, families book tables for Sunday lunch, and you can actually have a conversation because nobody's trying too hard. The kitchen takes itself seriously enough—expect proper pub classics done well, seasonal specials that aren't trying to be fancy, and a drinks list that knows its stuff, especially on the ale front. This is the gastropub that actually gets the balance right.
