The Timberyard

You'll find yourself on London Road between the river and the town centre, walking into something that feels properly lived-in rather than designed. The Timberyard does the job of a good neighbourhood pub—decent pints, food that doesn't disappoint, and enough of a crowd that it never feels empty but rarely gets rowdy. It's the kind of place where you might pop in for a quick one after work or settle in for a proper evening, depending on what kind of day you've had. Nothing showy about it, which is precisely the point.
