“Had a lovely late lunch/ early tea at the market Tavern this weekend. Traditional pub grub with the BEST PROPER CHIPS. The pub is Dog friendly and shows the rugby but its not super loud, a nice amount of background noise adding to the atmosphere. The two gentlemen that served us were so lovely and friendly. Lovely experience!”

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Listings are re-checked in batches against their public profile, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
