    Great Antic pub in a former post office with lots of the old hardware still around. Grab a pint of Beavertown and sit in the safe or at the picnic tables outside.

    This converted post office respects its past - there are original features throughout and the venue has a great vibe. There's an excellent selection of board games and beers on tap.

    An old post office with decorations to boot. You can sit in the old safe in the back and play board games

    Stylish alternative-pub built into an old post office. Look out for the little dens built into the old safe rooms at the back.

    The steak sandwich with dipping gravy is pure filth. In the absolutely most brilliant way.

    The 'dipped' beef sandwich is amaaaaazing. It needs to be a regular menu addition!

    You know you're in trouble when the barman says the price of the drink you've ordered is "truly shocking".

    Crab cakes as a starter followed by burger. Prices fair.
