About The Alexandra Arms

A traditional backstreet pub with a genuinely warm welcome for children — one family turned up with a toddler and had no trouble at all, and the staff are the sort who quietly sort things out for you. The main room can feel a bit cramped when it's busy, but there's a good seating area and beer garden out the back, with heaters for cooler evenings, plus free parking and buggy access. The food is the real draw: the burgers get raved about, the tiger fries have a following, and Sunday roasts come with plenty of choice. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, and enough vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options that nobody's left out. It gets busy, though service stays quick. Dogs welcome too.
