A laid-back local with plenty of festivities on offer.

Sofi’s bills itself as a warm hug, and that’s a fairly accurate description. The décor is a cross between your nan’s living room and a hipster hangout, but somehow Sofi’s is neither. Instead it’s a comfy den for locals where strangers are welcome too (especially if they have a dog); where there are often £5 cocktails and the French Bulldog has a kick; where Caesar Augustus flows from the tap and the modest wine list soothes your soul. Throw in open-mic Sundays, a knitting club and book club, and the odd clothes swap and you have the perfect village bar: a home from home with more going on and better, more interesting guests. There’s no food though, so fill up before.
