Fleet

This imposing, street corner pub is housed in what used to be a Royal Navy fire station until being rescued for conversion to a pub in 1997. Originally part of the nationwide Firkin chain of pubs, the Fleet is now popular with a wide section of the community and trades in direct competition with the Wetherspoon-owned Isambard Kingdom Brunel, which stands next door. As well as well-priced food and a choice of cask ales, the pub also stocks a range of bottled 'craft' beers from both the UK and abroad.
