Whilst this a vast improvement on what it was , like so many wetherspoons this is a very hit and miss affair, beer choice variable , quality variable, food was a bit poor when I ate there, I also found the staff a bit bumpcious. As said a vast improvement on what it was, but nothing here to make me rush for the first bus back to nailsea.

As beatles38 has pointed out, this has recently purchased by Wetherspoon�s and has now re-opened as The Glassmaker. It�s been much extended and renovated after a reported �1.3 million refurbishment. The name of the pub is reflected in much of the interior decoration, and there are various notices on the walls outlining Nailsea�s glass making history, as well as a poster chronicling a short history of The Wurzel�s Adge Cutler.
It�s effectively divided in to two halves with a large, open wooden bookcase dividing the two parts. To the left is the glass topped bar counter and a seating area with plenty of tables and chairs. A mosaic tile pattern behind the bar spells out the pub�s name. To the right is a light and airy room with large windows, patio doors and a glass atrium. The paintwork is a darkish shade of green with dark wood tiles on the lower part of the walls. Vertical sections between the windows are covered in a mixture of orange, brown and red glazed tiles, and this strip of tiles continues on across the ceiling. A circular column in the centre of the room is covered in tiny, dark, glazed tiles, and this also has a couple of inset bookshelves. Outside is a patio area with a selection of brightly coloured furniture as well as some low circular walls with old bottles laid in to them. The bottle theme continues inside with a lampshade made out of hanging wine bottles.
Beers on tap were Otter Ale, Butcombe Bitter, Butcombe�s dam Henson�s Rare Breed, Abbot Ale, Pitchfork, Ruddles County and Gem. Ciders were Strongbow, Stowford Press and Thatcher�s Gold.

Dull...

i think it's all been said
|
DickStilton's comment says it all.
No proper beer. Agressive locals. Avoid!
|
Should be re-named The Glass-ed House, rough as.
|
One to avoid unless you are under 20 and a pugelist.
|
Can be terrifying of a weekend evening. Changes clientele hugely from night to day.

its a great place gets very busy on weekends full of the locals young and old, makes a great spot for people to go on week nights to with quizes and games. pool table and dance area. during the day its a nice respectable pub to have a quite pub lunch.
