Duke of Wellington

Step into this quintessential old-school pub, where the charm of vintage decor greets you at the door. Renowned for its laid-back atmosphere, it offers a serene garden view and a lawn area ideal for enjoying a pint outdoors under the sun. A favorite among locals, it's perfect for sports enthusiasts with well-placed screens for watching rugby or football matches. The service is known for its friendliness, with staff consistently lauded for their welcoming demeanor, especially the legendary landlady, a true character of hospitality. While pet owners might find the no-dogs rule disappointing, the pub cat adds a quirky twist to the scene, though an encounter with the feline may leave you scratched. Keep in mind, plans should wrap up early, as doors close by 10 pm on Saturdays—a relic of traditional pub hours. Nonetheless, this establishment captures the essence of a beloved local hangout, offering both a refreshing pint and a slice of community spirit.
