The Alma Public House

We stayed in a hotel around the corner and needed somewhere local to eat. We called the ALMA and they said they had free tables but as they dont take bookings and only do table service we needed to arrive early. We took their advice...and went to the pub and were lucky enough to get a good table. The place was full at pm on a Friday. The staff who provided table service were fantastic, really attentive and looking out for tables that needed service. they were all friendly and really looked after us. I had rump steak and it was very tender and tasty and reasonably priced. The beer was very good also.

We really enjoyed watching the Scotland v Wales and Italy v England on October at the Alma. Great food and attentive and friendly table service kept us refreshed throughout the afternoon in what was a vibrant atmosphere well managed in accordance with guidelines.
