It's the battle of the boozers, Parson's
0:02
Green. The Sloaney Pony, The White
0:03
Horse, and Aragon House have both had a
0:06
refurb this month. I used to hang out
0:08
here a lot in my post-graduate days, so
0:10
let's see which one's winning. The White
0:11
Horse has a sun trap of a terrace
0:13
looking out over the green. Styled like
0:15
a coach house, the food is bougie pub
0:16
favorites, prawn cocktail, seared
0:18
scallops and chorizo, and the pie of the
0:20
day is worth fighting over. The wine
0:22
list has some adventurous gems. Small
0:24
fluffy dogs welcome. Aragon House has a
0:26
large stylish garden with more private
0:27
seated areas. Inside it's modern and
0:29
artsy. Aside from Sunday, it's more
0:31
tapas, small plates for lunch. The
0:33
squid's a bit anemic, but the prawns
0:34
were fantastic, and the wine list is a
0:36
safe bet. Upstairs they have 15
0:38
bedrooms. Conclusions? Lunch in the sun
0:40
at the Sloaney Pony, then nightcap
0:41
cocktails at Aragon House, and it's only
0:43
a few steps upstairs to bed.
