The Allotment Pub

You know the type of pub that feels like it belongs to the locals rather than existing for tourists? That's The Allotment. Tucked away on St James' Road, it's got that warm, unpretentious vibe where regulars know the bar staff by name and you can actually hear yourself think. The focus is on quality ales and proper pub food done without fuss—the sort of place where a pint tastes better because someone actually cares about pouring it. It's become a bit of a fixture in this corner of town, consistently packed with people who've chosen to be here rather than drifting in by accident.
