Permanently closed and converted to flats.

On first impressions, the new people here seem promising. But we will, as always, have to wait and see. One visit, on their first day, is not enough. Watch this space!
|
Unfortunately Eddy and Alison are moving on after next Monday (27th). However, they are confident that the new managers will be OK. We will have to wait and see.
|
This pub is now under new management (again). But this time Waddies seem to have got it right. The place is fairly buzzing during the evenings. Apparently the food is excellent - must try it soon. A friendly family atmosphere, and a good welcome for all. Long may it last!
|
Not dog friendly, even when pub empty and you want to eat.
|
Actually now taken over by the 'local resident'! Beer quality good, food planned soon. Always a good sign if someone takes over their local - they have an interest! Watch this space.
|
Caretaker landlord at the moment with some talk of a local resident taking it over in the future. Good beer average prices. No food yet.
|
Seems as if my local is in good hands. Doing a good trade (even in January) - no food yet, but it is planned - beer well kept, and a good welcome. The glory days are returning!
|
Open last night at 1700, me and one other block in, seemed ok< Wadworth xmas beer on, reasonable pint, pubs like this need supporting, come on locals get drinking or loose it for ever.
|
Apparently the pub is now open. An inspection will be made soon.
|
Hope springs eternal... Today the curtains are drawn back, and it looks as if my local could be open soon. A result perhaps?
|
I have nothing to add! I'm beginning to wonder if the closure is permanent, or will we see a 'For Sale' board soon, I wonder?
|
Still closed! Wadworth's, what's going on?
|
Rumour has it that this pub will shortly be reopening under new and experienced management. No sign of it yet though - we must wait and see. We need our local back!

The Great Western is now closed, with a notice in the window promising that the closure is only hopefully for 2 weeks. Congratulations to the agency manager - when I met him I gave him 2 months, but he only lasted for 1! I really do hope that Wadworth's will now put someone in here who will build on the hard work Zoe and Sheila did in turning this pub around. We must wait and see.
|
Both staff and customers appear to be leaving. If that continues, this formerly lovely pub will go the way of so many - closure! The new guvnor needs to get a grip - and soon.
|
Unfortunately Sheila and Zoe are leaving in a week or so. They have really turned this pub round. Hope Waddies put somebody in who will build on that - the pub needs someone who will love it! Try it while you can!
|
Yes I agree with most of what has already been said; close to Pen Mill station, well-kept beer by the lovely Zoe, her and her Mum run the pub after her dad (Travis)sadly passed away suddenly. Nice skittle alley and a few railway relics in the bar (and quite a few railway photos) which fortunately don't make it into some ghastly themed pub, but just add to the atmosphere of a proper local.

Has to be the only pub in yeovil worth a visit
|
Pleasant enough Wadworth house with pool table housed in the bar but kind of out of the way. Had 3 Wadworth ales and Butcombe Bitter on. Tried the Wadworth Strong-in-Arm which was a decent enough pint. As pointed out - very handy for Pen Mill Station.

By far the nicest pub in Yeovil (some would say that isn't difficult, but that would be a bit unkind). However, you do get a good welcome from both Sheila and Zoe, and from the regulars. An extra Wadworth beer is now stocked. The food is excellent. They are holding a beer festival on 2nd - 4th October, which should be fun. The other advantage is being so near Pen Mill Station. This pub is a gem. Come and try it for yourselves.
|
Deceptively spacious inside, this is a decent pub with a friendly welcome and a couple of good ales (Butcombe and 6X when we visited). Handy when awaiting the train home. Recommended.

As previous review stated, very close to Yeovil's Pen Mill Station. We used this pub as are starting point for our promotion winning game at Yeovil - CUFC.
One of our large real ale touring party had thought ahead and had seen from the GBG it was not going to be open when our train arrived. The obliging landlord agreed to open an hour earlier for our group. I am sure he was happy when he saw how many of us arrived.
There was a very good selection of ale on offer when we arrived. Although two of the barrels finished whilst we were there.
There was some good pub food on offer which most of the group tried and enjoyed.
Unfortunately it does not seem to appear in the current GBG so I wonder if the landlord has moved on.

Very Nice next to Yeovil Pen Mill Stn....popped in after Portsmouth FC had played at Yeovil....friendly customers and staff ....would visit again !
