  1. A

    Old Market Hall

    Hobnob with the local arts brigade in this posh café-bar in the old drapers hall, underneath a stunning timbered roof and styled to combine city chic with cosy rustic touches. As well as speciality teas, soul-restoring coffees and wines, it serves up a range of sandwiches, wraps, and calorific pastries. It's based in a lively film and media centre.

    Three Fishes

    The quintessential small English alehouse, with a jolly owner, mellow regulars and hops hanging from the 15th-century beamed ceiling. No music here, just real ales on tap and the refreshing atmosphere of a pub that has long been sending smokers outside.

  3. Boat House Inn

    Summer evenings are well spent in the riverside beer garden of this otherwise unexceptional pub, enjoying a view back over the sprawling Quarry Park and the baby-sized Port Hill Suspension Bridge, opened in 1922.

  12. Three Tuns

    Bishop's Castle's finest watering hole is attached to the tiny Three Tuns Brewery, which has been rolling barrels of nut-brown ale across the courtyard since 1642. It's a cosy local and the ales are delicious – we recommend the Cleric's Cure.

    Armoury

    Despite being a modern invention, the Armoury still manages to feel like it has been here for generations. Inside this inviting pub are long wooden tables, dotted around among floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and assorted collectibles.
