| Closed, boarded up and freehold up for sale. TalbotHill - 31 May 2017 10:52 |
| Tinned Cider is the order of the day and it's not clear what is actually on draught. Having lost quite a few pubs in the area, it's one that needs support or it'll disappear like the rest! TalbotHill - 8 Mar 2016 21:14 |
| Excellent mural in the back yard which is well worth looking at! TalbotHill - 7 Jan 2014 22:16 |
| A traditional street corner pub that has had a bit of a refurbishment since my previous visit many years ago. It's a fairly compact, L-shape affair with an additional small room down a couple of steps at the back which houses a pool table. The decor is unremarkable, with rough cream plasterwork on the walls and some pale brown paintwork that would look more at home in a gastropub. There is bench seating around the perimeter and one end of the pub narrowed off to a point and this was stacked up with chairs. The music was a little too loud, and there were a couple of TV's dotted around which were not in use. A notice advertised a forthcoming meat raffle which always strikes me as one of the indicators of a proper local's pub. There is a small outside courtyard which you have to walk through to get to the loos and this had some interesting murals on the wall of old steam engines. I particularly liked the fact that one of the tanks on the engine was painted to look like a can of Natch. Unfortunately there were no real ales on tap, just keg John Smiths and Courage. Ciders were well represented though with Thatcher's Traditional, Taunton Traditional, Blackthorn and Thatcher's Gold. These were very reasonably priced at £5.10 for two pints.
