The Royal Oak Inn, Luxborough

I've heard this pub / owner maybe bankrupt. Anyone know for sure?

The Bear Inn, Wiveliscombe

Popped in twice over the weekend on my annual "stag" weekend with friends.

Thatchers Gold and Dry cider as well as Otter, Doombar and Cotleigh ales. All well kept and tasting good.

Magnificent and reasonable burgers kept hunger at bay.

This pub is a rare thing these days- an independant, small-town pub that still appears to be thriving. Not stuck in the 1700's, but also accepting it's West Country heritage. It successfully caters for it's older regulars as well as the Wivvy cricket team in for a pre-match pint.

I can't help but love it.

I wish it had Exmoor Gold on - it always used to - but you can't have everything.

Ate and drank with a group of friends at the weekend after a long absence. Good local (Quantock) brewery ale on tap as well as Thatchers dry cider. Enjoyed by all, but I would really like to see Exmoor or Cotleigh represented. Food was very good - my steak was succulent and well cooked to order. Three of my friends had the monkfish and all agreed that it was excellent too. Desserts hit the spot.
The service was great and the atmosphere was relaxed and conducive to a lovely evening. I shall return with family.
Please try this pub.
