The Lazy Hill is one of those pubs that survives, and survives well despite bucking the perceived wisdom: It doesn’t open all day, keeping roughly the old traditional hours of 12-3 and 7-11. It also doesn’t serve food, or allow children (yay!). It has hardly changed in 20 or more years inside either.

What it does do is serve cracking beer and decent wine. There’s typically 2-3 ales (Deuchars IPA seems to be a permanent fixture, and Bombardier was on when we visited), and 2-3 decent lagers (Kronenbourg & a couple of unusual imported ones) too, as well as the usual suspects. There’s lots of space and a relaxed but busy enough atmosphere with music you can hear but hear over. It’s a pub I infrequently but regularly visit, and one I always wish I visited more often.
