The Ship Inn Hotel, Porlock

Popped in earlier this week for a drink, good range of ales, lovely wood burner going and friendly locals. The landlady seemed really nice and there was a good atmosphere, top marks from me !

The Question, Forest Hill

Question has been taken over fairly recently and it seems the new owners are working hard to make it work. The pizzas are fresh and delicious and prices very reasonable. I haven't been there in in the evening but it's a great place to go for good quality and reasonably priced food during the day, especially if you have kids as it's very child friendly. To me this seems more of a restaurant than a bar but perhaps it's more bar-like in the evenings. I'd say the recent reviews are harsh and this place is much better than the signage outside suggests.

The Foresters Arms, Dunster

I'm a tourist and I LOVED this pub. My husband and I popped in last week when we were staying at the Luttrell for a few days and within a few minutes the parrot (called Nelson I gather) was swearing and someone was attempting to play a digderidoo. It's a "proper" pub and I'd hazard a guess the thatched bar is fairly unique too.

I don't travel from London to the country to visit gastropubs, I go to find pubs like the Foresters, and long may it last!

We had a good banter with the landlord and chat with the locals (most of whom turned out to not be locals originally) and I thought it was very friendly. Nice wood burner on the go and it's dog friendly too.
