The Blue Anchor, Blue Anchor

A well worn but welcoming pub perched atop the cliff at the far end of the esplanade, sadly the cliff edge is eroding quite rapidly putting some of the pubs garden out of bounds.
A split level interior has lots of secluded seating areas including a small conservatory with great views out to sea.
A couple of real ales & a pair of decent ciders were present on a recent visit, friendly staff and locals at the bar too, on previous visits the place has been doing a good trade in food during the day too.

The Smugglers Inn, Minehead

Still open, but under new management as Simon & Tanq have recently decamped to The Far Canal at Wrantage near Taunton.
Early days obviously, but the place was stripped of all the militaria and painted stark white inside on a recent visit, very quiet customer wise too.
A handy location though, might be busier when the Blue Anchor up the road eventually succumbs to cliff erosion...

The Good Companions, Eastleigh

Looks lively on weekend evenings at least.
The foyer was sealed of with Police tape a couple of saturday mornings ago.
Seems to attract a similar crowd to the Chamberlayne in Eastleigh town centre.
