The Adam and Eve
The Adam and Eve caters for every taste. Pork is the top roast choice, and when the food is prepared by a former head-chef at The Hawksmoor, you know you are in good hands. The managers are committed to cutting down food miles and offering fresh produce, and the staff lavish equal care and attention on the guests. Aside from enjoying a top Sunday roast you can catch the football action, play pool in the screen-free area or chill in the spacious garden. It’s hard to be disappointed.

The Jolly Butchers
Loved by the locals, The Jolly Butchers’ homely atmosphere makes it a great refuge on a cold day. Family and dog friendly, the most impressive feature is their wide selection of international craft beers. All the classic roasts are available here, but the lamb shank is the recommended choice. The vegan nut roast is also very popular. Ina nod to tradition, their gravy-rich roasts have a touch of the home made, which matches the cosy mood.
