Although quite small looking from the front, the garden out back is amazing in spring/summer. Nice for a morning brunch in the sun, afternoon cocktails in the sun or a party in the evening.

A nice stroll away from the city centre along Upper St James and straight on to College Place. This restaurant is where you go for a slightly more upmarket gastro pub dining experience. It has sister restaurants in Hove ( The Ginger Pig) and Hassocks (The Ginger Fox).
