Superb! One of the dying breeds of a traditional local. Good ales and cider and always a welcoming smile. Fine honest food!

Improving...Ales getting better and one of the busiest venues now the Shoes has hit rock bottom...

The Rising Sun, Bradford on Avon
Good local boozer made from customers rather than the frosty landlord/landlady who can be positively darn right rude when they are their usual pissed up state!

The Kings Arms, Bradford on Avon
What the hell are they gonna do with it next? Come on Greene King! This used to be the Jewell in the Crown!

The Dog and Fox, Bradford on Avon

Good friendly boozer. Great for live music, banter and a chat. Bee & Keevor should be behind the bar more as t'is they that make the place!

Changed hands on numerous occassions since last review. Great boozer! Open all day with good mature, hands on landlord and landlady, serving good ales and friendly, natural banter. Best local in town!

Good solid boozer... Certainly a vast improvement with the Girls at the helm than the previous miserable landlord. Good ales!

The Seymour Arms, Witham Friary
A bit of nostalgia that will have you wondering why we bother with the new format of pubs. I was a regular of the equally delightful Lamb & Fountain in Frome (Mother's as it's known!) Mother herself recommended the Seymour as she's an old friend of Jon's.
T'is a treat to be blessed with the opportunity of basking in such a friendly, warm and unspoilt bit of history. I am lobbying my local MP to instigate the consideration of opening a train station at Witham....
Gorgeous!!!

�BEST PUB IN THE UNIVERSE!
I had the pleasure of meeting Mother some 10 years ago and as an ex-landlord myself, marvel at the gorgeous creature!
She owns what can only be described as the last bastion of a Local and commands respect from everyone who has ever been blessed with the opportunity to visit. She also suffers no nonsense, and her direct talk of sense and good manners fills this unique menagerie with a whole cross section of ages that create a warm and friendly melting pot.
The views across town are magnificent; the Shove Ha'penny slate is the best one could play on (even boasting the obligatory heat lamp;) the standard of Table Skittle play is breathtaking (Don't ever take on Mother though!!!;) the displayed paintings by passing artists who have also fallen in love with the place, can occupy you for hours...and the standard of ales and ciders is tip-top! For those that are not overly familier with the delights of "Rich's Farmhouse" Cider...treat with respect....where else can one get glowingly merry on a tenner!
.....and if you ask nicely; the canny Caroline may allow you the keys to decend to the cellar and witness the perfectly intact 17th Century Ice Well that further installs ones appreciation of just how timelessly perfect this unique place is!!!
Thank you Mother, Caroline, Sue, John, Ben for serving me and all my friends and family who are always as equally enthralled, and thank you to every other customer who make up the most eclectic and friendly athmosphere ever to be found in a public house!!!
