    The Raven

    Head back toward the city center for dinner. The Raven is a friendly pub with a good selection of real ales and famous for its hearty pies and mash. It is open until 23:00 on weekdays and 00:00 on weekends, making it a solid choice for an evening meal.

    The Star Inn

    Finish the night with a drink at The Star Inn. This is a very local pub with a genuine atmosphere, small rooms, and old coin games. It is open until 21:30, so aim to be there before then or adjust your evening slightly earlier if it is a weekday.

Local tip

The Star Inn closes at 21:30. If you are visiting on a weekday, consider finishing your drink there before it closes, or choose The Raven for a later night. Check the route back if you need to go further.
