Rosemary Branch

Amidst the charm of a traditional, hearty pub atmosphere, this lively establishment perches enticingly by the canal, offering an ideal spot for both a casual stop and a more committed engagement with its culinary offerings. As you walk through the doors, the aroma of their celebrated Sunday roasts—vegan or not—beckons, promising crisp potatoes and sumptuous gravy to warm even the most discerning foodie. A notable feature lies in its vibrant beer selection, including harder-to-find brews and the increasingly popular gluten-free varieties on tap. Patrons can participate in witty banter during quiz nights or indulge in splendid company on their sun-soaked outdoor seating area.

Notably, this venue wears multiple hats beyond its prowess in serving indulgent comfort food: the upstairs area unfolds into a cozy black box theatre hosting a robust lineup of comedy acts, ideal for those seeking some laughter with their pint. For those bringing along furry companions, the pub’s dog-friendly policy enhances the spirited atmosphere while maintaining an inclusive nature. While minor culinary missteps have occurred, the consistently affable staff display an earnest "can-do" spirit, elevating the overall experience. This public house becomes a welcoming shelter from both the rush of daily life and the unpredictability of British weather—perfectly fitted for the eclectic local crowd.
