The Fishes

This imposing Victorian redbrick pub reveals an interior that’s open-plan, light & stylishly uncluttered. The kitchen makes a good fist of menus to suit every occasion, from tapas-like deli boards of charcuterie, cheese or smoked fish to a wide-ranging carte touting pub classics such as burgers, free-range ham, egg & chips or sausage & mash with onion gravy, as well as beef bourguignon or roast cod with champ & parsley sauce. The main conservatory dining area spills out onto wooden decking, with a view overlooking the three-acre garden. If you fancy something more secluded, borrow a picnic rug from the bar & seek out a quiet spot in the grounds.
