The Punter

This beautifully renovated coaching house, with its eclectic mix of pine furniture and relaxed ambience, is just two minutes' walk from the city centre. Popular with visitors, locals and students alike, drinkers can sit alongside diners and enjoy well-priced rustic food. Serving bar snacks, a three-course set menu and a daily-changing seasonal menu, dishes might include braised pig cheeks with Jerusalem artichoke purée and hazelnuts; guinea fowl, truffled pomme purée with spinach and pickled mushroom; and apple tarte Tatin with ginger mascarpone. In the delightful courtyard garden pots of home-grown produce are sold.
