The Cleave, Lustleigh

Not a bad pub to head for while on a walk. There's a decent front snug bar and a rather bland back bar. The beer isn't bad (Otter), but neither is it over wonderful (£3.20 pp).

The food is outrageously expensive and is of rather small portions for what you pay, so take your own and sit in the garden or buy some from the nearby shop. However, the food is very good (poncy), but probably not what is needed for the sort of passing trade they get.

Brentwood Bitter was OK, but I nearly before I got any as service was appalling. Pub was basically empty in early evening midweek and barmaids stood around drinking tea or coffee in the back room and chatting, while the customers need serving.

Now called George II. I think it's a gay pub as there's so many blokes in it - well judging from those outside.
