  Love this pub. Cosy, pleasing decor, great lighting, beers galore, decent prices, a three-legged dog and a holy-sh*tballs car showroom over the road. Perfectamundo.

• Shikara, Indian Restaurant.
  Above-average food at decent prices, but why so sloooooow? The place wasn't packed, but the waiters/kitchen seemed to have completely lost the plot. Too much focus on the takeaways, methinks.
