Oddly angled stone building on the slope of a hill. Forgotten I’d tried to get in here years ago – it has certainly been re-done since then. Grey and white modern interior with feminine touches and naff signs from somewhere like The Range. Patio garden out front which was a pleasant sun-trap. Two cask in GK OSH and Bath Gem, the latter of which was pulled-through by the friendly mature barmaid (“I’ve done this job long enough to know that needs a pull!”) and it was in good shape (NBSS 3.5). Not going to have you making the 20 minute walk out of town by itself but assuming you’re going to have a look at the GBG listed Fox a couple of minutes away, it’s worth the extra stagger. According to WhatPub, it’s owned by the same people.

Closed on our early afternoon visit and didn't give the impression of being open often - if at all. Looked run-down externally and a peer through the window confirmed a similar interior. No ale spotted.

A very pleasant local, a small roadside pub on the outskirts of town. It has been recently renovated and refurbished and now has a bright, clean feel to it. There is a small car park at the side, while the front is dominated by a wooden pergola on a raised terrace for smokers. Inside, the three original front rooms have been opened to form a single long bar, although being on a hill, the successive floors are at progressively higher levels. The narrower area at the lower end is filled with a pool table, the single counter is in the centre, set back into a rear room, while the upper bar is carpeted and comfortable. There are 3 large TV screens, which were showing live football. There is a dartboard at the 'saloon' end, though there appeared to be more dart holes in the adjacent wallpaper than in the board, while the ocky was so high and solid it presented a trip hazard. There was also a folded up table tennis table in the hall by the toilets. Staff were very pleasant and welcoming, the pub dog was benign and the locals were friendly. Two ales on, Otter and Speckled Hen, not spectacular but very drinkable. A decent enough pub, worth stopping for a beer.
