I would be inclined to stick to the brewery owned pubs, namely Dirty Dicks (Youngs), The Astronomer ( Fullers ) and Williams Ale and Cider House ( GK but usually with guests). Of the others it’s always worth seeing what’s on in the Woodins Shades, which you can do through the windows, and then there is always the spoons in the station complex, The Hamilton Hall. This is actually a decent pub, but be warned all forms of human life ( and some I wasn’t convinced were human) can be found here, especially on a Sunday morning.
