| Brilliant pub. Amazing selection of ale. great location. Pretty much perfect. WhiteRabbit - 5 Sep 2014 15:14 |
| A traditional, un-spoilt pub in a rather out of the way village on the Somerset levels. It�s not somewhere you�re likely to stumble across by accident, but it�s well worth checking out being only a few miles outside of Wells. Punters seemed to be a mix of cyclists and locals, but were all friendly enough. It�s a good sized pub with flagstone flooring and exposed stone walls throughout and whilst it doesn�t have much in the way of home comforts, it nevertheless has considerable character and charm. It feels exactly like what a traditional village inn, untouched by the passage of time, should be. The front bar is an L-shaped affair and this leads through to what is described as a restaurant area at the back, although in reality apart from maybe a couple of extra tables and chairs there is little difference between this and the rest of the pub. There are a few shelves piled up with books and a small room with a dart board off to one side and a skittle alley beyond that. At the back is a reasonable sized patio area with some wooden decking adjacent to the river from which the pub takes it�s name. This is a great spot on a sunny day with views of the river and the fields opposite. There was music playing which in the normal course of events I would say was slightly too loud, but somehow it didn�t feel it and instead just added a mellow vibe to the atmosphere. I would guess the friendly landlord was keen on music as I noticed an old turntable behind the bar. The food offering on a recent visit appeared to be just a selection of pasties lined up on the bar, although this was Easter Sunday � they may well do more at other times. Although there were several hand pumps on the bar, these seemed not to be in use with the beer being served directly from a couple of barrels perched on the end of the bar. On this occasion they were both from the Milk Street Brewery in Frome � Mermaid and Funky Monkey. They also had their own cider and perry, also straight from the barrel, which was very pleasant. I queried the percentage and was told that it varied, but was �guaranteed to be at least 6%�! All in all this is a fantastic, traditional old pub, and well worth getting your map out to try and track it down. Blackthorn - 26 Apr 2011 16:36 |
| Made a viist last week arrived too late for food but just in time for drink,Good to see the Thatchers now on and refreshing too on a hot day,The landlords been there about 3/4yrs now, and has made some nice transformations,looked like he was building a small stage over the river outback in the lovely patio area. james55westhead - 19 Aug 2009 03:42 |

| Found this pub whilstout on the levels ,with mater/pater in the back.opened bang on midday,so in we went.Good selection of food,and my mum,s favourite on the specials board,whole sea bass �7.50 what a bargain.We returned a few weeks later with sister in tow,and we sampled the homemade pies,each of us having a different one,weall gave it the thumbs up.They are new people,but have made a great deal of the outside area,and if this is the shape of things to come ,we shall beome pretty regular.My favorite red cider on sale is a bonus for me.Once these people have found there feet,it,s going to be one of the INN places to be seen on the levels anonymous - 25 Aug 2006 18:41 |
