Game Day Specials
On match days, this place transforms into a hive of jersey-wearing faithful and footie enthusiasts. You’ve got a solid selection of pints on tap, with local ales that change with the seasons. And the burgers? They hit the right notes—juicy and flavourful, just what you need as you cheer your team on. Plus, the prices (between £10-20) are fair for the quality you’re getting, leaving you some change for post-match drinks.
Location & Access
The Marquis sits pretty on North Hill, making it easy for locals to pop in and grab a seat. It’s a short walk from the town centre, so you won’t have to trek far if you fancy a pint after work or before the weekend’s matches. Just beware: it fills up quickly when the big games are on, so arriving a bit earlier is always a smart move.
