Pubs
Cock and Bull
Opposite the station, owned by green king, can get pretty rowdy on friday and saturday nights, but serves food and local as well as national beers.
The outlying villages generally have better food stuffs and more character than the town pubs.
The Brickmakers Arms
Pub; aka 'the brickies' arguably the best pub on this side of the uck, local beers aplenty, but they don't have a lot of time for imported stuff don't expect any lime in your corona. sausage and chips â£3. you may also stumble across the old war hero otherwise known as jolley who's always there enjoying a drink or 5 and will be sure to entertain with amazing stories of his youth. it is not in the center, but if you get lost in 'ridgewood' and need a pint, it's not too bad.
