| This is a prominent pub at a crossroads on the A39 south of Bristol and must get a fair amount of passing trade. It�s even situated at an angle so you can�t help but get a great view of it while you�re waiting at the traffic lights! It seems smaller inside than you might think � there�s one L-shaped room with a L-shaped bar. Interior is pleasant enough with a real fire (great on a freezing evening) a few trinkets around the place and various country scene pictures on the walls. It doesn�t have quite the cosiness of some country pubs, the ceilings and walls are a fairly light colour, there�s no beams or other attractive features. On the evening we visited there seemed to be some sort of OAP dining club in attendance � we were the only people in there under about 60! That was a Sunday though, I�m sure it�s livelier on other nights. The menu looked good with a proper selection of �pub grub� � curry, fish & chips, scampi, etc., plus a small specials board. The landlady was very friendly and knew most of the other punters by name � in fact many of them were getting their drinks poured before they�d even ordered. I used to come to this pub fairly regularly about 15-20 years ago and was surprised to seem the same landlord � he must be doing something right to still be there after all that time. Beers on tap were Butcombe and Otter, plus Thatcher�s Dry cider. Not sure why it's only scored a 5 - the one other review here seems reasonably positive. Blackthorn - 8 Mar 2010 13:39 |
| A decent, honest, no-frills pub. Good beer and food. Tables cannot be booked in advance, so if you plan on eating here, best get in reasonably early to ensure you get a table. DoctorSyn - 2 Feb 2006 14:44 |
