The Man In Space

You're after a straightforward night out with good grub and a pint? The Man In Space sits on New Inn Lane doing exactly what it says on the tin. It's the kind of place where you don't have to overthink things—order a steak off the grill, get a decent drink, and settle in with whoever you're with. The 4.2-star rating from over 1,200 reviews speaks to consistent, reliable food rather than pretentious theatre. It's part of the Sizzling Pub Company chain, but don't let that put you off; locals clearly rate it enough to keep coming back.
