A classically individual pub in the heart of the city centre. The Shakespeare is a midsummer night’s dream, and equally dreamy all year round, with a cosy atmosphere, live sport and great food and drinks options available.

To feast on, The Shakespeare offers classics of a British-cross-comfort persuasion. The pie menu is hard to look past, with wild boar and chorizo, sherry sauce and red peppers being a particular highlight. In the mood for a burger? The mouth-watering Nicholson’s burger, double beef or buttermilk chicken burger with smoked bacon, Monterey jack cheese and battered onion rings, will not disappoint.

To drink, the Nicholson’s pale ale is a firm favourite, with countless other wines, spirits and beers, both cask and bottled available to choose from.
