The Water Poet
If you're looking for a smart boozer, you've come to the wrong place, this pub has thrown its heart and soul into the scruffy Bohemian trendy bar look and pulled it off. It's a huge place with rooms seemingly in all directions and even a large outside space - obviously devoted to smoking with the ban. The beer's pretty good with offerings such Flower's, and Landlord on the hand pumps and the usual bar type stuff you expect in a place like this. The clientele is very mixed, but they seem to mix happily, nevertheless, as everybody's here for a good time and, by Jove, they get one. There's just one caveat - it can get pretty crowded in the evenings, particularly when some enterprising soul books one of the back room or a section of the garden. As we said of its previous incarnation, the old Pewter Platter tavern, you could do far worse in this neck of the woods.
