    Very enjoyable lunch at the Standard. They have a good range of beer and the wine list has quite a wide variety. Likewise the menu was varied with some interesting selections on the 'specials' board. Overall a very good lunch.

    Green Man's Arms is a great place for good vegetarian food that's cunningly disguised as "fast food". The kitsch decor and cosy nooks make the place feel very comfortable and welcoming. This is heightened by the staff, who are attentive and friendly. The Impossible Burger is absolutely delicious and the Pomme Frittes are sublime.
