| Village pub with a bar area and a more formal dining area. There are plenty of tables. But we felt that it had a real pretentious feel to it. Although it was more upmarket than other pubs we had visited during the day. The 3 ales were Sharp's Doom Bar & Atlantic & Plain Ales Innocence. I went for the latter, with no real cider available. The place soon filled up with diners. But we took a look at the menu and decided that it was not for us. There were a number of dogs too - far too many for our liking. Boules can now be played at the front. Not overly enamoured with this pub though. blue_scrumpy - 24 Sep 2018 20:16 |
| Excellent village community local with 3 local ales on. Good food. Lovely village. Definitely worth turning off the A30 or A303 for between Gillingham and Templecombe. Steamer1 - 26 Jul 2016 17:59 |
| Staff were friendly and helpful and made us some sandwiches on a Sunday when normally only roasts were served. A good range of beer on the handles, ours was in very good condition. With its high ceilings and sofas in the bar area, and a separate restaurant area this seems to have been recently refurbished in the gastro style yet still worth a visit for the reasons previously mentioned.

| Food was tremendous and the beer top notch - Northern Star from Moor Beer was the best pint I'd had this summer (had to try several & it goes splendidly with the pies). Room was great too & the staff and ambiance make for a very relaxing stay. I'll be stopping here again when I'm down that way deportivo_azul - 2 Jul 2011 22:32 |
| Some excellent food here and some very high-quality beers as well. More than a little off any beaten track, so to survive this place would have to be high-quality. Not that expensive, either, all things considered. HenPen - 4 Jul 2009 15:31 |
