Market Inn, Yattonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
A pleasant and traditional pub, handily located just around the corner from the railway station. Decor wise it has a bit of a �70s feel to it, with plenty of (fake?) wood panelling, even the hearth around the fire is wood panelled as well as the lower half of all the walls.
It�s split in to two bars, with the cosier lounge bar being on the left. Besides the aforementioned wood panelling, there is rough plasterwork on the top half of the walls and a few local pictures. The right hand bar is a larger L-shape affair and is a little more sports orientated, with a laminate wood floor, pool table and darts board although there is still a carpeted section at the front with a row of tables and chairs in front of the window. There is also an attractive stone fireplace. Landlord seemed to be a friendly chap.
There is a surprisingly large beer garden at the back, although it is somewhat featureless and actually looks more like a big field than a garden. There is a climbing frame to keep the kids amused, and a massive apple tree, although unfortunately much of the fruit goes to waste and was all over the floor. A perfect opportunity for the pub to make their own cider I would have thought. There is also a small patio area, partly covered, and a pond.
Beers on tap were Doom Bar and Otter Ale. There was also a pump for Tribute but this appeared to be off. Ciders were Thatcher�s Gold and Stowford Press.

Cosy smallish, but not tiny bar , with bar and lounge , that you tend to see more in the country than in the big cities , not great choice of real ale otter bitter ale and butcombe but ok not rubbish either, possibly though a bit overrated at 7.6 ,more probably about 6.4

Excellent freindly local, handy for the station. The staff are welcoming and the ales are always on top form.
|
A slightly old fashioned but in that it has seperate saloon and public bar areas but this is a lovely pub with a friendly atmosphere. A slim selection of ales but the Butcombe is very nice. The bar staff are very friendly and the landlord can be seen having the odd drinkie with the punters.
|
