Really good, simple food. Choose a cut of meat or a type of fish, and then have it grilled with a simple side order. A little pricey but worth it. I understand the burgers are good at lunchtime.

Drinks & Nightlife
Good atmosphere. Quite trendy pub with good food. If you're into football (which I'm not) there's a big screen playing the big games.

I like this pub. It's a more traditional English pub with pretty good food (not great). They do a decent burger and a substantial Sunday roast.

This is the location for the main Sports Centre. It has an Olympic sized swimming pool plus 2 other pools. I'm sure there are many activities to do here, although I've only swum here.
