        I would recommend either Tha Bath, though not without a certain
amount of pain becauses it got horribly modernised not so long ago, but as
a Hogshead will do halfway decent beer and food in the *ruins* of what
used to be a sixteenth-century building. Just down the street from it
(this being Bene't Street, which joins onto Corn Exchange Street) is the
Eagle where Dawson and Crick reputedly worked out DNA, and that's bigger,
has food but also had Greene King beer (and not kept well enough to get
away with it) and bouncers. I suppose however the Eagle may be the best
bet.

        Hmm. Can't now find proof that it does food. I'll look later
today. Here it is, anyway:

        Ah yes, though. Food, and review:

        As they say, it will likely be very full, but so will everything
central enough to be local to the Corn Exchange, and it must be shading on
for vacation by now surely, so the students may not be quite so
numerous. Yours,
                 Jon
