It's a shame that this traditional pub isn't open 7 days a week as otherwise we would have no doubt popped in on more than just the one occasion last weekend. My pints of Cheddar "Gorge Best" were good; I didn't try the Hopback Summer Lightning. Excellent homemade pub food which we ate in the bar rather than the restaurant at the rear. paul_d102 - 16 Nov 2023 18:51 |
Managed to get here just after 2pm and had a pint I'd never heard of before and forgot what it was - it was OK but nothing to write home about. Only one other real on, the third pump was not in use. Food had stopped at 2pm, but we had a good chat with a local in what seemed to be the public bar and the landlady joined in as appropriate. Although the pub seemed small from the outside, there were 1 or 2 other good sized bar areas plus a more formal dining room. Our session finished at 2.30 when the landlady rang the bell and announced we had 10 minutes drinking up time. Feed - 24 Apr 2016 18:57 |
Now here is what I call a classic, thriving, welcoming local that exuded much cosy charm, alongside a sound array fo well-kept cask ales and probably - didn't check - good food to boot. Having been dismayed to find the pub not open when last passing in October, happily it was found in full swing this time. A group of older chaps were cogitating by the bar and were very amenable, frquently involving us in their chat without being too insistent. The vibe was immensely jolly, with everyone knowing each other's name and exchanging hearty plasantries. I really felt the Burcott shows how a community local should be - it was well-heeled but without being snooty, and was down-to-earth enough but avoided mediocrity. Despite being slightly worse for wear owing to excesses over the previous 2 days, this place really helped perk me up. There was 'comfy' seating (but not those vast sofas you find in modern bars in which your arse disappears and you can't get out of!), and the Teignworthy Beachcomber half I had was a joy. I definitely will look to get back in here when opportunity next presents. TWG - 9 Jun 2011 13:48 |
Had a really lovely meal in this village pub in February 2011. Wonderful food, friendly staff. featherways - 25 Feb 2011 16:05 |
