Amazing craft beer at great prices, brewed on the premises. The taproom is only open Friday evenings and Saturday day, but you can pick up beers to take away during the week. Watch out for their special events with music and food. It's even family friendly as it's on an industrial estate so no traffic at the weekend!

We LOVE the Saturday morning market at Green Park Station where all the locals go. Go there for coffee, bread, meat, fresh veg, cheese etc and there are always some interesting stalls selling more unusual produce. And it's undercover! There are Sunday markets in the same place for antiques and hand made products.
