The Pump House

About The Pump House

Right on the edge of the Lanes, this is a traditional pub with a proper pubby feel — clean tables, no sticky surfaces, and a downstairs bar with a handful of tables plus a bigger restaurant room upstairs, which is where you'll want to head with children. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, and outside seating that comes into its own on a warm evening with the Lanes views. The pies are what people come back for, and the fish and chips gets praise for generous, freshly-made portions. Staff are generally accommodating — one family had a table saved for them in front of a screen. Worth knowing: prices are on the high side, a 12.5% service charge is added, and there's no Sunday roast. It can get lively in the evenings when the screens are on.
