The Swan - JD Wetherspoon

You'll find yourself on St Thomas Street in the heart of town, where The Swan sits ready to deliver everything a decent local expects. This is proper pub territory—all wooden beams and busy bar staff, the kind of place where your nan bumps into her mate from pilates and suddenly you're hearing all the town gossip. The menu's straightforward and won't break the bank; you're looking at comfort food done without pretence, alongside a rotating selection of cask ales and the sort of drinks prices that actually make sense. It's the pub equivalent of a reliable friend—nothing fancy, no Instagram theatrics, just consistent, dependable hospitality.
