Now called the Little Grosvenor. It was absolutely packed on Thursday at mid-day, and the 1 barmaid was more interested in chatting with her mates than serving me, so I left without buying a drink. They sell traditional rough cider, which is very good. Very unfriendly and unwelcoming to strangers, with more than a hint of potential violence.

Locals only. Didn't even have the pleasure of being stared at once inside; they wouldn't let us in! Door locked at 10.50pm on a Friday night, full of grey heads, shake of the head by mine host.

Another interesting traditional boozer in the Southville/Bedminster area. Taunton traditional cider and draught Bass . Rough and ready, full of colourful locals.

A basic, no frills boozer located on the corner next to Asda�s car park. The front bar is quite small with limited seating, and there�s a slightly larger rear bar that had a juke box playing music slightly too loudly. There�s also a small courtyard garden at the back of the pub. Actually on second thoughts, calling it a courtyard garden may be a bit generous, it�s more of an alleyway strewn with empty plastic Natch bottles. A classy establishment. Punters seemed friendly enough though, one of whom was particularly keen to voice his frustrations on the current immigration policy.
Beers on tap were Bass and Courage Best. Good choice of ciders with Bulmers, Blackthorn, Natch and Taunton Traditional.

Still a proper pub and "Clivey" Hall doing a crackin' job running it. Bass (and I guess everything else) has gone up by 10p, making it �2 a pint. Only Wetherspoons in Cannon Street beats this @ �1.95. All the same, a very well kept pint. The usual crackers at the back end of the bar providing the entertainment as well.

With Thatchers rough for �1.90 a pt you can draw your own conclusions but it had more in it than the McSpoons up the road on the night visited. Colourful characters and friendly staff. Great turned up jukebox. Liberal views on the smoking ban,shall we say. Overall it serves its market so credit where due.

A proper little pub. Real people, real ale. What more do you want?

Nasty 4/10
