CityLife

It's been a long cold winter, but top marks to the landlady at the Horse & Jockey for keeping a blazing fire in the hearth that matches the warmth of the welcome. Well-kept ales along with the usual selection of fizzy lagers and soft drinks will quench your thirst, and there's a good selection of top value lunches and snacks during the week. There's a great atmosphere on match nights, when the bar is full to busting, and on quieter evenings you can browse the book shelves and borrow the latest blockbusting novel. Quiz nights, darts, bingo and the occasional musician strumming in the corner - landlady Emma has worked super hard to turn this into a lovely local pub. The garden has just been revamped, with plans for a BBQ in the pipeline. Let's hope the summer is long and hot....<br />
