The Hawthorne

You'll find The Hawthorne tucked away on Orford Lane, away from the main drag but close enough to the town centre that it's become a genuine local favourite. It's got that warm, unpretentious vibe that makes you want to linger over a pint or grab food with mates on a Friday night. The crowd here isn't after Instagram moments—they're after a decent pint, honest cooking, and somewhere that treats you properly. Staff know regulars by name, and that kind of thing matters. Whether you're popping in for lunch or settling in for the evening, it hits that sweet spot between relaxed and well-run.
