Oddfellows Arms

Small, basic and unpretentious, this single bar community pub tucked up a hilly side street is a real locals' local near the town centre. Popular with locals and visitors alike, it is decorated with old photographs, and has a convivial atmosphere in which to enjoy the beers normally available (three in busier months, two in the winter), with on odd occasions a fourth racked up at the back of the bar and gravity-dispensed. Bar games include euchre and darts, and there is a small pool room to the rear; quiz night is on Thursdays. The pub holds annual events such as a pumpkin festival (Hallowe'en), pasty and lasagne festivals, and a New Year fancy dress session.
