The Boars Head

Head out towards Standish and you'll find yourself at The Boars Head, the kind of place where regulars actually know the bar staff's names. It's got that comfortable, worn-in feeling of a pub that's been doing its thing for years without needing to reinvent itself every five minutes. The menu's straightforward—proper pub food that hits the spot, whether you're after a pie or something more substantial. Real ales line the taps, and you can tell the place takes that seriously. It's the sort of spot where you genuinely want to spend an afternoon, no pretence required.
