Almost the perfect pub

It's Sunday, you're a bit hungover. You just want a good honest pint in a cosy pub, perhaps a game of cards and a packet of crisps too. Well The Great Eastern's the perfect place to do this. The toilets let this place down, but hey, we don't go to pubs to pee now do we? Check out the fantastic characters who linger in the pub on Sundays - it's great people watching. Beer goggles not included.

The Great Eastern

Above expectations
Although there are four pubs on Trafalgar Street, The Great Eastern is by far the cosiest of them all, albeit the smallest. With a lovely antique interior with many a bookshelf of old, dusty looking books, it really feels like you're at home as soon as you walk in, and its as close to a bookshop/cafe style pub you can get really. Warm and welcoming, its not a place for when you want to go out and get wrecked, more somewhere to sit and chat with mates or just read a book. A generally older clientele.
