Drinks & Nightlife
The Fox & Ferret is our closest local pub. Here they do what we would consider fairly traditional pub food like burgers and steaks. They often have live music and even better its in walking distance from the house so you can have a few drinks and not worry about transport :). Please note Fridays and Saturdays will quite posibly be busy so will be great if your lookng for some atmosphere and posibly somewhere to watch the rugby then heres your place. However not so much if your looking for a quiet meal.
