The Nog Inn, Wincanton

Popped in for a quick one the other night and enjoyed a pint of Sharp's 'Own'.
Beer seemed well kept and was served with a smile by a friendly barmaid.
Surroundings and decor pleasant and food menu looked nice although I didn't eat. (My only reservation was that they didn't serve pork scratchings!)
Small car park directly opposite which I can imagine filling up very quickly at busy times.

The Half Moon Inn, Horsington

Enjoyed a lunchtime pint and meal here yesterday in pleasant surroundings.
Good range of well kept beers with 6 real ales including local offerings from Plains Brewery 'Illusion' and a rather good Hop Back 'Winter Lightning'.
Food was good pub food and priced as such and was well received by our Swedish and French visitors.
Decor was clean and functional (stripped wood floors) but without affectation to gastro pub leanings! Several roaring fires added to the general pleasant feel of the place.

The Plough Inn, Wrington

After many reincarnations, at last this pub has found a good balance between beer and food.
Although Youngs is not my pint of choice, there is always the (very) local Butcombe on offer along with a guest ale, quite often St Austell Tribute - both well kept and served.
The restaurant area is bright and airy and offers an excellent range of dishes from simple but delicious sandwiches through an ever changing array of seasonal main courses utilising predominantly local ingredients...but...none of this is done at the expense of the pub element. If you want to pop in for a pint, or a longer drinking session, then you are made very welcome by James and Craig behind the bar.
3 open fires complete the homely feel during the colder months and the outdoor area with plenty of benches, chairs and sofas is hard to leave when indeed the sun does shine.
