Clean. Reliable. Does the job.

The 'lights out missionary' of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.

Decent pub food, nothing groundbreaking.

The Horse And Guardsman has that classic pub charm with a cozy twist. It’s a great spot for a gathering, especially if you’ve got a big crew in tow—plenty of space for everyone. The fish and chips get rave reviews, with many calling it some of the best they’ve had. The atmosphere is friendly, and the service is consistently noted as attentive.

While the menu might initially look limited for vegetarians, they actually have a decent range of options once you sit down. The drinks selection is solid, and the interior is kept in good condition, making it a reliable place to grab a drink or a meal without any fuss.
