The Well

Mismatched tables, surrounded by sanded woods, bare brick & walls of noise, crowd the casual ground floor of this sociable pub, which hides a classy cocktail bar in the basement. Its menu lists the all-appealing likes of fish & chips, oxtail faggots & Gloucestershire Old Spot bangers & mash, but that shouldn’t prevent you looking for seasonal specials on the blackboard, of which fish choices in particular often exceed expectations. Multinational wines are poured into glasses of varying sizes: be sure to specify which one you’d like as the largest one tends to be served by default.
