This small (and quite frankly cramped) bar/restaurant next to St. Mary's is aimed directly at British tourists. During the day it's busy and loud, but mostly civilised, as punters watch the footie while ploughing through full English breakfasts (served all day), fish and chips, BBQ ribs, burgers and beer; in the evening it's all sticky floors and shoulder-to-shoulder Jagerbombs. With a working-class aesthetic, timber on the walls, tip-proof tables and almost no closing time - this isn't your typical pub, but there is a certain comfort to its inherent 'Britishness.' We were a bit surprised to find the food better, the prices more fair and the atmosphere less 'untakeable' than expected.
