The Full Moon, Wells

Two roomer locals drinking den. Yellow and green colour choice makes it look like a Hop Back place, or perhaps a Norwich City away day pub. Proper fire on the go. Three cask on, (Butcombe, Hop Back and Hop Union) my Hop Union Scallywag was a little heavy but just about GBG-par (NBSS 3). Worth taking-in if you’re crawling the city. 6.5

Liked this a lot - a good locals pub, close to the town centre but away from the tourists. Looks small on the outside - a main bar to the right of the entrance with a log burner and traditional looking bar. Keeping moving through the pub from the main entrance and along with a beer garden is a well furnished and huge gazebo. Can't be many that include chesterfields, a pool table and huge screen for the sport. Genial Irish landlord. A couple of real ales and Cheddar Crown and Glory in fine condition. Good Beer Guide 2023. Wish I could have spent longer here but time limited.

A really good traditional back street boozer laid out as described by Blackthorn, below. The outside area at the rear, a paved courtyard with a garden behind, is huge compared to the size of the pub itself, though unfortunately the weather wasn’t conducive to enjoying it on this occasion. There was a good local crowd in, but the young bar staff were a bit miserable and unfriendly. That said it was a good atmosphere and we had a good time. Ales on were Goat’s Leap from Cheddar, Butcombe Gold and Hick’s Cornish Ale, all in excellent condition. There were 3 boxed ciders from Wilkins and Stan, plus Guinness and 5 lagers of varying origins. Definitely worth including in a crawl, and a good place for a few pints if in the area.
