Whitchurch is home to great pubs, top-notch coffee and superb takeaways.
Kudos Coffee
In many ways the heart and soul of Whitchurch, Kudos is nearly always packed full of kindred spirits, coffee lovers and people in need of a decent bit of cake. It was in the back room that Paul Sartin and Jon Wilks began cooking up the idea of relaunching the Whitchurch Folk Festival…
The Kings Arms
Huge thanks to Steve and the team at the Kings Arms for hosting the Fringe Stage! This quintessentially English pub offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Known for its traditional charm, this establishment serves a variety of local ales and classic pub fare. It’s a popular gathering spot for locals and visitors alike, embodying the heart of community life.
