Drinks & Nightlife

This is your local pub, it's a real cracker, with loads of ales and ciders on tap and a range of wines. The atmosphere is friendly, the owners have a couple of little dogs that have the run of the place and there's a decent back yard for warm evenings and smoking. They also do good pub grub in the form of Pieminister Pies with all the trimmings.

The Plough is really a pub but most people only see it when it comes alive after 11 with a heaving dancefloor and reliably eclectic DJ's. It's easy to find yourself still dancing at 3am when you were expecting to have a quiet night.

A good destination for a bike ride on the Bristol to Bath Cycle Path. The pub sits overlooking a weir in a beautiful spot for the evening sunshine. It does serve food but can't guarantee the quality, it's all about the location with this one.

Gloucester Road claims to be the longest (mostly) independent high street in Europe. You will find a myriad of charity shops, craft shops, cafes, bars, pubs, bakeries and pretty much anything else you can think of.
