Friendly pub with a good selection of real ales. Famous for its hearty pies 'n' mash and for having a good selection of less traditional board games (ask at the upstairs bar).

The Raven

The Salamander

Slightly quirky indie bookshop with a particularly interesting selection. Don't forget to go upstairs to see the sections on the first floor.

Mon–Sat 9:30AM–5:30PM, Sun 11AM–5PM

Mr B's Emporium of Reading Delights

Very small, characterful old pub. Squeeze through the door, elbow your way to the bar and order some real ale or cider.

The Old Green Tree

8A Quiet Street, City centre restaurant set in a huge Georgian room. Excellent food and service. Highly recommended. Book ahead unless you're going very early evening. Service charge (tip) is included in the bill.
