The Market Tavern

Walk down Market Street towards the town centre and you'll spot The Market Tavern doing exactly what a good pub should: serving decent drinks to people who aren't performatively Instagramming their pints. It's the kind of place where regulars prop up the bar and you won't feel like a spare part sitting alone with a pint. The vibe is unpretentious—think wood-worn bars, proper lighting that doesn't make you look ill, and the sort of atmosphere that suggests people come here because it's genuinely good, not because they read about it on TikTok. Food-wise, it handles the basics well enough that you'll want to stay for another round rather than head elsewhere.
