Black paintwork and nicotine walls. Black Boy dates back to the 1330s, though the first reference to licenced premises on the site was in 1729. Most now is 17th and 18th century. Ye Olde Black Boy is the definitive genuine traditional Olde English pub and of course it has a ghost. it is a little slave boy (hence the name) who was a servant there before the abolishion. Well worth a look!

Furley's has an amazing beer selection - both craft and cask - which always includes Atom, a local brewery. It has a fantastic atmosphere and very friendly. Much recommended! My only gripe is the beer price, which are on the expensive side at around about £5 in the whole, for 2/3 pint! I'm still a regular visitor, however, which is testament to the place!

My new favourite eatery in town. Great decor and seating area outside for when the weather is good…read more Food is fantastic, tasty and well presented. Great for the odd lunch or can cater for larger groups, both of which I've experienced with no problems. Well managed and customer service is top notch. You can tell all the colleagues take pride in what they do and it shows. Can get busy at times, and have had to wait a while for meals on a couple of occasions but we got our drinks for free for the wait - what more could you ask for? Open most days except for Sunday and Monday from noon until late.

Having a hi-life card was an incentive to visit, and it was a pleasant surprise…read more They have quite a selection of food on the menu, and this is when alarm bells should ring. Being a jack of all trades can sometimes go against you, as you don't specialise/excel in anything. I ordered the beef brisket with potatoes and greens, similar to a Sunday roast, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would've been happy to pay full price for it, and the food is all reasonably priced. My brisket was really nicely cooked, and the gravy was good. As it accommodates "evening activities", the interior isn't probably the best, and you could almost feel your feet stick to the floor! Other than that, it was ok. Service was relatively quick and friendly. If you're around the area for some food, give Garbos a try!

Happy hour is the best time to visit. If I was to give a bad point it would be the lack of seating, they could fit a lot more seating in there as it can get quite busy at times.
