The Font

Cleverly punning title, which could equally apply to the font of knowledge with its university location, or the religious overtones of the nearby cathedral. This intelligence is matched by its elegant modern bar interior, which doesn't take itself so seriously in that it allows all sorts of rival flyers and posters in the windows. An extensive menu is provided, featuring a higher class of pub grub, and there's also a great selection of booze that might be a bit pricey for your average hard–up student. But there's a happy hour between five and eight to stock up for the night ahead.

There's also table football, wi–fi, big screen sports and Playstation, Thursday night quizzes, tapas, Sunday roasts, DJs, a full English (veggie or edgy) for a microscopic £2.95, a big bursting bag of drinks offers, another packed with laidback, laughter–rich atmosphere and... Itchy just fainted (with pleasure – not because we ran out of breath at the end of such a ridiculously long sentence). Welcome to the ultimate holiday camp paradise for work–shy studenty–types to kick back in: Font–ins. Where life's a beach, not a beatch.
