We have an independent one, Herbie's, just down the road from us outside Cambridge. It's pretty good! They have a wide range of imported US fizzy drinks cans too!
Great to see a local lad on HN! For those fortunate enough to be visiting the North East of England, there are plenty of great engineering tourism opportunities - see the Rocket at the Locomotion museum in Shildon, try the Stephenson Railway in Wallsend and of course Cragside, Lord Armstrong's house up in Rothbury is always worth a visit!
