Steeped with memories and local history.
All the best ales you can wave a stick at & they brew their own on site 'BARUM BREWERY'.
Love it , love it , love it.

Part of the summer jazz fest & local gig guide.

Always buzzing with locals.
A melting pot for all.
Opposite 'THE QUEENS THEATRE'in Boutport street.
Fantastic selection of real ales, local & Guest.
Great wine list, cocktails even latte's etc
Celebrate every thing.
It's nice to get change from a fiver when you buy 3 drinks.
Always meal deals & themed food nights(ie:curry,chinese,steak nights).
Suntraped beer garden in summer & overhead covers & heaters for thoughs chilly evenings at end of the summer.
Contains a family area.
non smoking areas.
kids allowed up untill 7ish.
Always very clean & friendly.
I love the fact they with out fail always have fresh flowers at the end of the bar.really nice touch.
Very clean loo's never ever run out of loo roll & if a loo gets broke or something its never out of action for more than a couple of days.
Great meeting place, very central.

The oldest pub in the oldest borough in England.
Opposite Barnstaple's wonderful 150 years old local pannier market, in the high street.
It's a tudor tavern with that lovely dark cosey feel to the place.
They serve food,It has a restaurant upstairs or though i can't comment as i've never eaten there.
What i do love is all it's low cellings & quirckness like to play pool you use sorn off cues cos the walls & pillars are in the places that they are.

The Cork and Bottle, Barnstaple
Great ales, fab staff - suntrap of a beer garden.
Great atmos after work hours.
i'm not a karaoke or cheesy chart fan so i would move on by 9ish at end of the week nights.
Great if your stag or hen goers.

It's now called 'FUNKY MUNKYS' open til 4ish thurs-sat. great if your out of your tree (no pun intended) or not very fussy. It's a 'PLUB'(my word for a pub trying to be a club & 'charging' to get in.... not if you paid me!!!)
Cheep bar price's & drink deals.
I love these place's for one reason only ... it keeps all the sqad's & slap's out of the bar's i do freqent.
for that i rate it reasonably.

The non smoking policy unfortunatly only lasted 5-6 weeks.
I am a smoker & i think they should have stuck to there guns & kept it non smoking.

This is now called 'The Olive Branch'. It was opened as a non smoking pub, but is now half & half.
Lovely cosey sofa area, serve's food, great wide selection on the bar.
The music is'nt my taste but it's run of the mill every day charty sounds.

Fab old style atmosphere- that bursts with energy every Sunday when they have 'live music', anything from Blues,Jazz,Funk,Soul& more.
Alway's part of the local all year round gig guide & summer jazz fest as well as being in the 'good beer guide'.
And now open til midnight near weekend night's.
Yes it's true - they fined you if your mobile phone rings BUT they raise a few hundred pounds EVERY couple of months for local charity's which is fantastic. No one really minds it's for charity mate.

If your ever in Barnstaple this place is perfect to take you away from it all.
Claytons is a contemporary wine bar with it's NEWLY opened Glass House Restaurant.
Imagine the beam structure of a barn with glass between the beams, with contemporary seating & lighting & a view to the kitchen.
The food is locally sourced as much as possible & is exquisitly prepared & presented.
yes there's more - old black&white movies, a fish tank scene & more on view on the plasma, cosey cushioned booths in the chill-out zone & very fine tunes.
The staff are fab & Liam & Justin are top guy's with great vision.
