Fromeway, Radstockback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
A strange little place. Obviously once had a very good Edwardian pub interior that has relatively recently been refurbished, painted over and given an attempted �trendy� feel on the cheap. Nicely optimised by the Georgian recessed door that leads to the bar; now painted mint green with a brushed chrome handle in place of the original brass fitting. Just feels awkwardly done somehow. As does the garish illuminated glass bar-back, with rather nice original 1940s style hand-pulls in front. Always seems to be quiet on the odd occasions we go in, I can understand why. Nothing much to shout about. Average.

Rude landlord, should never have got into the hospitality industry - maybe try being a prison officer! Haven't tried the food but hear mixed things. Beers overpriced and never change.
|
I would like to add that the landlord has now sadly retired from butchering.

As already commented, the drinks are a little pricey, but are always well kept and I would rather pay a little more for a decent pint. Food is excellent, with good veriety and changing menu. If you vist the butchers next door, try the faggots, the sausages and the excellent home-made steak and kidney pie.

Nice comfortable pub. A couple of real ales on tap. Not cheap.

Quietish pub with restaurant to the rear. Not open all day (usually from 6 pm.) Food is good, the landlord is also the local butcher! Usually 3 real ales (Butcombe, 6X & Guest.)
No fruit machines, jukebox or pool table.
Accomodation is also available, 3 rooms (2x Twin 1 x double). This is where I stay when I have to work in the area.
