16 Bridge St; s/d from £45/72)
The 300-year-old Castle View
has intriguing historic details, including 18th-century wall paintings in two of the bed-
rooms and hand-painted glass in the back door. Most rooms are small and the floors are
creaky, but there's plenty of atmosphere.

Boat Inn
( 01291-628192; The Back; mains £3-6)
A great riverside pub strewn with nautical knick-knacks
and a particularly snug 'snug', the Boat dishes up better-than-average pub grub and a
good menu of daily specials. The three best tables are upstairs, beside the windows over-
looking the river.

( 01291-620349; 16 Bridge St; mains £9-17)
Serving solid, meaty, country fare (much of it sozzled
in vodka or wine-based sauces), this historic, castle-gazing gastropub isn't short on atmo-
sphere. It's heightened in the evening when candles flicker in moody corners and the
young owner is in host-with-the-most mode.
Mythos!
( 01291-627222; Welsh St; mains £9-19; noon-2am Mon-Sat, 5pm-midnight Sun)
Exposed beams, stone
walls and dramatic lighting make this lively Greek bar and restaurant memorable, but it's
the authentic, delicious food that justifies that pretentious exclamation mark in the name:
tzatziki, grilled haloumi, spanakopita, lamb and chicken souvlaki, moussaka - served as
meze or main-sized portions.
