Never been chilli pickle so can’t comment. But I can second Unbarrred as a good venue, providing everyone likes craft beer.
Easy Tiger sounds right up your street, few pubs close by too and town a 5 minute walk away.

Blessed to have seen, or to see, my 3 favourite American bands this year. (ooh, look at me!)
The National (Edinburgh Castle on Thurs)
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band (Wembley 26th)
The Gaslight Anthem (back in May)
Bit of both I reckon.
We’ve all been taken the piss out of when we lose but we don’t go squaring up to ‘em.
Small bit of handbags being massively over exaggerated.
