The Park View

Head out to Durrington and you'll find The Park View doing what proper pubs should do: serving decent food, pouring consistent pints, and actually feeling like somewhere locals want to spend time. It's the sort of place where you can rock up for Sunday roast without any fuss, grab a table with mates, and not feel like you're paying London prices for it. The crowd skews unpretentious—families alongside after-work drinkers, all rubbing along fine. You're not getting anything revolutionary here, but that's rather the point.
