Gosforth - eating and drinking
The best pub on the High Street (in my opinion), good atmosphere, usually good music, a decent selection of drinks and it does decent food. It's open until midnight on the weekend.
Brandling Arms
182 High StreetThe best pub on the High Street (in my opinion), good atmosphere, usually good music, a decent selection of drinks and it does decent food. It's open until midnight on the weekend.
The nearest and it's fairly decent, it often does deals such as 241 meals and cheap drinks on a Monday. It has a snug at the back which is nicer than the front bar if you're after a more quiet pint.
