A slightly down at heel boozer located a short stroll away from the centre. Easy enough to get to if you’re inclined to make the effort, but no doubt it’s sufficiently out on a limb that it doesn’t get much in the way of the tourist trade.

The main room is an L-shape affair with a pool table at the back. Elsewhere were a couple of plasma screens showing the football, and the commentary was piped to other speakers around the pub, so if you’re not a footy fan it was somewhat difficult to avoid it. The ceiling was covered in wood panelling and the seating was mostly tables and chairs, several of which were split and had the stuffing spilling out. Teal painted wood cladding covered the lower part of the walls. The bar counter was constructed of white washed bricks which was unusual. There is also a patio area at the front, and I believe there may be a beer garden at the rear, although we did not check this out.

Various posters advertised up and coming events such as Quiz nights on a Wednesday, Karaoke nights on Monday as well as some bands that I’d never heard of. There was some type of food offering, although I didn’t spot any menus. The only thing that I saw coming out of the kitchen was bowls of cheesy chips. There was also another room off to the left, although this was not in use on our visit.

Beers on tap were Bob, 6X and Glastonbury’s Hedge Monkey. Ciders were well represented with Stowford Press, Cheddar Valley, Strongbow and Symond’s Founders Reserve, plus another being dispensed directly from a barrel behind the bar.
