Locals who know their way around a good pint and a hearty meal will find their footing here. The Firkin Scholar is a haven for those who love to watch Premier League matches while tucking into some solid pub grub. It’s the kind of place where regulars share laughs over a few pints and newcomers are welcomed in without fuss.
Food & Drinks
The menu feels like a mash-up of classic pub fare and a bit of flair. Think juicy burgers, fish and chips that actually come crispy (no sad soggy bits here), and Sunday roasts that could make you forget about your mum’s cooking — at least for a few hours. Prices hover between £10 and £20, which isn’t bank-breaking for the quality on offer. The drinks selection doesn’t disappoint either; a decent range of ales fills the taps, and a curated wine list means you won’t be stuck with something dodgy while watching the match.
Atmosphere & Vibe
Inside, it’s got the charm of a proper pub with wooden beams and the odd quirky decoration. Whether it’s a Saturday afternoon or a midweek game, the vibe’s relaxed but expect a few shouts when the action gets intense. The crowd is a mix of families, mates out for a laugh, and the enthusiastic football fans who live for match days. It’s busy, but not so cramped you can’t enjoy your meal. Just right for the Sunday crowd wanting to wind down after the weekend.
