| Still a Lock up Shop and when I called in, very little on offer. Recent reports of "Dancing Ladies" at 9:30pm on a Thursday (less clothes) according to locals present! Bottom line is it can't last! TalbotHill - 17 Sep 2014 22:34 |

| A back street pub a bit off the beaten track and away from the main road, it has nonetheless managed to survive when two others pubs in the village have both closed in recent years. Having said that, I was initially unsure if it was open when we visited – the pub sign was not illuminated and the pub was in darkness other than a couple of hanging lamps above the bar. We persevered though, and found two other punters in there. I was under the impression that this had been taken on by the team behind The Hen & Chicken in Southville a few years back, but whereas that remains a popular and buzzy place with a good range of pizzas, this seems quite the opposite and any sign of a refurbishment has now been lost. It was difficult to discern much in the gloom, but from what I could see it’s a good sized U-shape pub with a wood strip floor at the front and tatty cream paintwork on the walls. A pool table was at the rear and here there was chequered lino on the floor, whilst a dart board was on the wall. A plasma was up on one wall but this was not in use, and one of the other punters in there was making some selections from the jukebox which was just as well or it would have been deathly quiet otherwise. The most interesting feature was probably the carved wooden backdrop to the bar. There is also a courtyard garden apparently, although we did not investigate this. Beers on tap were nonexistent unfortunately. Despite two hand pumps on the bar, both of these had run out or were not in use. One had a Doom Bar clip on it, the other nothing. Ciders fared better though with Thatcher’s Dry, Thatcher’s Gold and Blackthorn. Blackthorn - 15 Nov 2013 10:34 |
| Unfortunately, the Kings Arms closed on Monday 26th August, meaning this is now the only remaining pub open in Brislington for the time being. TalbotHill - 27 Aug 2013 17:18 |
| Called in the Pilgrim this week and there is indeed a new couple running it along the style of a "lock-up pub". The original pub flat is now bedsits and the function room is now a flat. The pub is literally run like a lock-up shop! Beer-wise, it's difficult to judge at the moment, but there is Thatcher's Gold & Dry on draught at £3 a pint. One of the locals said that the jukebox was being fitted, but the building owner stopped the engineers in mid flow and got them to take it away. Musical entertainment is from a mini hi-fi behind the bar. No more pool table and I did not notice whether there was a dart board either! Good luck to the couple that have taken the pub on, but I think they are going to have a hard job on their hands? TalbotHill - 5 Feb 2013 15:28 |
