The Queens Arms, Corton Denham

It's all very "nice" and indeed there are some good local beers on tap. But really this is not what a Somerset village pub should be. When inside you feel like you could walk out of the door to be somewhere like Parson's Green, indeed there is even a picture inside of the White Horse in Fulham, or "Sloany Pony" as it's better known. If this is what you are looking for then great, but if you want some good authentic local atmosphere, go elsewhere (The Mitre in nearby Sandford Orcus is a good bet). Please stop turning our local pubs in to wine bars, you are alienating locals and destorying the character of the traditional west country pub!

The Bull Inn, Hardway

This is a great pub in the summer with a fantastic beer garden with views up to King Alfred's Tower. There are good local ales on tap and the staff are very friendly. The food is probably a bit overpriced (though sill pretty good) and in the winter the inside of the pub is a bit small, but for an evening summer drink it can't be beaten.
