The Fountain Inn, Wells

Previously a traditional town pub, now a gastro-pub. The pub is formed from two earlier rooms now knocked through to form a single room at the front and a second dining room at the rear. One fireplace has been kept, which now houses a gas fire which has a comfy sofa by it. Stripped wood floorboards give it an airy feel, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing. Parking is shared with other local businesses but it’s difficult to find a space at busy times. Two ales on, Potholer from Cheddar and Butcombe Original, both in good condition, but very expensive. There was also Mendip Shine cider from Hedges, and Guinness was on keg. It was fine for a casual beer, but they are clearly food-led and the prices would put me off staying too long.
