THE ALYN

The Alyn is like that pub you walk into and instantly feel at home—if home had a river view and was a bit more stylish. The service is on point, and the food is nothing to sneeze at. Diners are raving about the cheese burgers and chicken dishes, with Sarah Kane giving a shoutout to the fab menu choices. It’s a solid spot for a family meal, and the atmosphere is friendly enough that you could bring even your most annoying relatives.

The outdoor seating has a beautiful vibe, especially on sunny days while you sip drinks and devour your Sunday roast, with plenty of gravy to drown your plate in. Just watch out for the occasional table mix-up—better bring your own wobbly table fix or you might end up in a game of musical chairs. But overall, this spot delivers on all fronts and is worth the trip.
