This is our favourite kebab place. Go for the chicken or lamb shawarma but go elsewhere for chips (Cuckoo Cafe is good).

Many of our major life events have begun with conversations in this lovely pub. They've recently had a refurb and it's looking lovely.

We go here about twice a month on date nights. The beer is fabulous but the decor is a bit "hole in the wall."
