Marksman Public House

This is a proper old Victorian-era boozer, cosy and quintessentially British, with its century-and-a-half-old mahogany-paneled interior and leather banquette seating. The old boys still perch on the barstools for daily catch-ups, even though under its new ownership, the pub has gotten raves for its modern British food. (Michelin has awarded it Pub of the Year.) Opt to sit downstairs, as that’s where the most atmosphere and character are, though it’s lovely on the small roof terrace on summer evenings, too.
