Enjoy A Pint Of Cider (Or A Half!)

A Picnic on The Downs

A Swing Over A Cup Of Coffee At the Playground Coffee House

Drink A Cocktail At Red Light
In the mood for a cheeky cocktail or two? The Red Light is the place to be. This quirky bar is like no other because you can’t just walk in. You have to pick up the payphone, press a button and be let in. Quirky right?
