Couldn't get in here on the saturday and sunday as the place was rocking but managed to visit every other night for the week, staff very friendly and used by lots of locals. seems to be a pet lovers pub as countless people came in with their dogs. Ate 3 nights in the restuarant excellently cooked. didn't have a bar meal there but from what i saw being served up to the customers, it looked really good and plentiful. best pub in appledore as far as we were concerned

just spent the last weekend in Taunton and visited the Westgate on both saturday and sunday. Beer garden now has patio heaters and a smoking shelter ready for the incoming ban in July and Carl is getting a new gas bar-b-que for patrons to use. Still great live music every week end and a great U2 tribute band on over the bank holiday. New food menue at affordable prices. Great banter from the regulars and Carl makes one smile quite often

The Horse and Jockey, Twyn-yr-Odwyn
Jack and Jan go there quite often. Both in their 80's one can see why.

5 Mar 2007 20:53
has bin a top pud for years, untill danny and clair ad it. Nothing wrong with the soul crew or the 'quins drinking there. can only go back up now. cracking locals and crack
5 Mar 2007 20:51
don't go there any more, like a morgue now.back at the exes and corry,with the odd one or two at the fag and top house
5 Mar 2007 20:42
drop in quite a lot, good pint and a good mix of reguarlers. hope it doesn't change and get taken over by the students like the "claude"
5 Mar 2007 20:39
what a crap place,wouldn't drink there if it was the only pub open.should be like the George, closed down!
5 Mar 2007 20:31
Yeah, it's a dead hole. Carry on to the Westgate and save your self from being bored to death. Watching paint dry is better than coming here
5 Mar 2007 20:27
did Watchet and Blue anchor bay last summer. first time since'71. Top pubs, great company, great food and really made to feel welcome by all. Even if the locals are a bit nosey.can't wait to come back and it won't be 35 years either. cheers my dears! hic

The Ring of Bells, Norton Fitzwarren
doesn't do food of an afternoon. made to feel like an alien when i popped in for a pint with my son. hope he doesn't get posted back to norton fitzwarren, unless i gets my drink from the asdas first and stays in0 out of 10.

The Naval and Military, Taunton
I went there once but came right back out with out buying a pint. too late, i discovered that my horse had been stolen and that my saddle was left on 4 bricks. Thats what type of a dive it is
5 Mar 2007 19:57
had a few meals here on our visits to my two sons when they where stationed at Norton Fitzwarren. Good food, nice range of beers, good welcome, ok as it goes.Need to have them to be relocated back there to update my last visit"2006"
5 Mar 2007 19:53
The Lamb and Flag, Blagdon Hill
a good music venue, stiff, but not too unfriendly locals. Ales ok, still feel as if i av 2 eds when i drink there
5 Mar 2007 19:49
with regards to the previous reviewer, welcome to Staplegrove!. drink up and carry on to the next pub. Lots of pubs do not encourage strangers to drink there
5 Mar 2007 19:46
the duke of monmouth should have knocked it down in the pitchfork revelution instead of using it as his headquarters. the ales are from the same centuary along with the clientelle
5 Mar 2007 19:42
The Crown and Sceptre, Taunton
go to the westgate inn for better and bigger football screens along with better ales,food and company. come on u reds
5 Mar 2007 19:38
drank here for long enough when stationed at Fulwood barracks,not as cheap as the seargeants mess but better company. Just an average pub really
5 Mar 2007 18:55
been eating here since '81. till '99, great food and service and not a bad pint. will visit again when i come back up north to visit family and friends.

Stanley Gate Inn, Bickerstaffe
Drank there 35 years ago on a regular basis, during the last 20 years it has gone so far down hill it's untrue. Ale and food and clientelle is crap. It's no longerv a local, just a pub for food for families with no atmosphere.
5 Mar 2007 18:38
stayed here in the 60's and early 70's many atime. also went camping at the nicholl's farm now owned by Frank Burrows the butchers. Had some wicked times there and as a family we have had some great days out there with nice meals and the odd drink. Don't seem to remember the silverdale arms pub, only the royal hotel opposite Shaws petrol station and the club. Was there this year, 2007 for a quick pint while staying in Blackpool for a week seems to have gone in decline
5 Mar 2007 18:32
just a normal pub really, usual ales,clientel and a crap chippy opposite. do your self a favour and visit the stocks down the road or to the wayfairers for o top meal with your drink
5 Mar 2007 18:15
seems to be at it's busiest of a lunch time. good menue, average beers but pleasant enough staff. in the middle of nowhere,don't drink and drive
5 Mar 2007 18:12
ad a few pints here over the years as we've taken the kids to the treacle mines. not really got a lot going for it.
5 Mar 2007 18:09
The Parkers Arms, Newton in Bowland
we've had a few nice meals and drinks here when we've done the trough of bowland trail time and time again. not been for over 10 years now due to living down south, due to visit home this year and will go back here to see how it's altered
5 Mar 2007 18:08
I used to have a drink here when i was on courses at Multibroadcast in Bispham. Will try it next time i'm in Blackpool to see if it's good bad or indifferent
5 Mar 2007 18:01
ad my first pint ere at the age of 15. Bin back a few times since and find that nostalgia does really cloud the mind. A large pub with nothing going for it. Sorry !

The Eagle and Child Inn, Weeton
avn't been ere for years. Gives me the creeps when i think of the money i spent there when i was stationed at weeton barracks

The Eagle and Child, Hurst Green
Another favourite crown green bowls away venue with top ales on sale. loved a few pints of dogs boxxocks and old gunpowder. had a couple of good race nights here an all. next time i'm up north in 2007 i'll definately treat me sen to a pint or two there
5 Mar 2007 17:40

Stayed at The Norbreck Castle Hotel at the end of November for a week (485 bedrooms), a round consisting of a pint of Fosters with a large Bells and a dash of lemonade cost �7.60. Found this pub down the road and we went there every night till 11 then back to the Norbreck for the end of the entertainment and a few drinks before retiring to our room and a couple of shorts that we'd brought with us. The pub was nice and friendly,good quick service, a terriffic pint of mild which they dont sell in South Wales so i had to batter it "in excess of 12 pints a night and as chep as chips" as they say when your back home in good old Lancashire. Aye an we ad fish cheps and peas.
5 Mar 2007 17:27

The Inn on the River, Grangetown
turners mansion has shut down and is likely to b turned into flats. long live the pub on the mud
24 Jan 2007 21:25
great pub, local meeting place for folks going into town. brilliant quiz every thursday and sunday. fabulous buzz and sense of humour from most of the locals. long reign dave preece.
24 Jan 2007 21:21
not the same since it's refurb and rebranding as a toby carvery. very dissapointed after a number of happy years spent visiting there
24 Jan 2007 21:17
unbielavable in it's transformation since becoming a (hungry horse pub). very lively busy young family type location. very popular-b prepared 2 wait 4 ur meal, it's that busy
24 Jan 2007 21:14
has had a make over in the last 2 years, but not been in since then so couldn't honestly comment on it's current stance
24 Jan 2007 21:12
owned by robin hood, only lottery winners cud afford a pint here. menu not as good as 5 years ago. another refurb we will b paying 4 for years 2 come, i think not!
24 Jan 2007 21:08
bin dun up i have bin assured, god only knows what it was like b4
24 Jan 2007 21:06
the menu is crap, and it's always cold. not like it was years ago- living on it's reputation but not 4 much longer i think
24 Jan 2007 21:04
stopped going when it changed 2 a "hungry horse outlet". basically a bag of sxxxt. come back andy!
24 Jan 2007 21:00
meals have gone down the nick a bit over the last 2 years. tried it again recently, a waste of �25.00
24 Jan 2007 20:58
the bugle is still closed. can't see it ever opening again. is this a shame?
24 Jan 2007 20:53
a great favourite 4 lots of different people. business lunches, t time snacks and meals, evening meeting up place, but not a local.
24 Jan 2007 20:51
great pub 4 the over 40's. was brilliant while john and linda where there. still a top pub but will take time 4 the locals 2 accept the new landlords fully.(no disrespect 2 them) just a mark of respect to j&l. great atmosphere in bar and lounge, great characters such as brian and albert.
24 Jan 2007 20:48
pub had been closed 4 ages. used 2 use it daily when i lived in grangetown. looked a sxxxt hole but had bags of charachter and great ales.pity the developers couldn't fit it in the plans 4 the international sports village. i thought the chimney was a protectedi i.tem, obviously not now the pubs knocked down. doesn't seem right driving down ferry road towards the yacht club any more. i wonder how many people remember stopping off there on their way 2 or back from penarth 4 their holidays 4 a bag of crisps and a bottle of pop while their parents had a drink inside.

The Royal George Inn, Appledore
ate in the restaurant on the sunday night along with one other couple. food was ok and service was ok but at �60.00 for 2 meals in a pub, not good value. on our own in the pub for over an hour and decided to leave so they could close for the night. didn't look any busier through the rest of the week either
