Bars & Pubs

Noble has a warm welcome, a bedraggled vibe and a fine drinks selection: Deuchars IPA, Leffe Blonde and Addlestones cider on tap, plus strawberry Früli in bottles. A blackboard lists 24 wines by the glass, including champagne and dessert wines; the brief, well-considered cocktail list features modish watermelon-basil and elderflower-ginger martinis, and classics like caipirinha, bellini and amaretto sour. Service is perfectly attentive when it comes to ordering food, too. As well as a full menu, there's a tapas-style menu of dishes for sharing.
