King Edward VII
Built in the early 19th century and one of the oldest buildings in the area, the King Eddie (as it’s affectionately known) looks like an old man’s boozer from the outside. But inside it’s comfy and has lots of period features, including wood paneling, church pew-style seating, fireplaces - all attracting a youngish crowd, especially on Thursdays; open mic night. The upstairs bar’s been converted into a rustic-style restaurant with old farmhouse tables gathered beneath a sky light. The food’s of the simple, seasonal ‘best of British’ sort, like grilled sea bass for two, wild rabbit, and honey roast pork belly. It’s good stuff. Great beer menu too. It changes, but you’ll usually find the likes of Timothy Taylor Landlord and Bombardier on draught.
Average Price:Under £24
