The menu is “gastro pub” but without the snobbery. Think of it as comfort food that went to finishing school. Their Sunday roast is legendary. People book tables weeks in advance just for that plate of gravy-soaked happiness.
Fun detail: they serve a “Lion Burger.” It’s not made of lion. Please, it’s just a very good beef burger. But the name makes you feel a little dangerous. Order it, and you’re part of the pack.
The Ghosts (If You’re into That)

Locals swear they’ve heard footsteps on the stairs. I say it’s just the creaky floorboards. But what if it isn’t? Adds a little spice to your after-work drink.
