The Rule

Food all day

The kitchen serves from breakfast through to evening, with a pub menu of burgers, pizza and classics, plus lunch and drink deals during the week and a two-hour boozy brunch. Party packages and a pizza buffet are available for birthdays and group celebrations. Food service runs from 10am, so it also works for a late breakfast.

Sport and late nights

Screens show live football and other sport, and the pub lists upcoming fixtures. Cocktails and craft beer are on the drinks list, and the late licence on Fridays and Saturdays keeps it going after most of the town has closed. Midweek there are craft beer and cocktail offers, and seasonal events such as Halloween and Christmas parties.

Families and dogs

Children are welcome with an adult, with under-16s able to stay until 10pm, and there's baby changing and an accessible toilet. Dogs are allowed too. The Adamson and Blackfriars Chapel are a few steps away, and the cathedral is at the eastern end of South Street. Its location halfway along South Street makes it an easy, central meeting point for groups who are scattered around town for the day.
