The Full Moon, Wells

A traditional pub just off of the High Street, it consists of a couple of bars and a good sized garden at the rear. Staff seemed friendly and helpful, and there was a good crowd in on a recent Boxing Day visit. The smaller bar to the left consists of three small interconnected rooms. The main part adjacent to the bar counter also leads out to the garden and has a wood strip floor with pale lemon paintwork on part of the walls and exposed stone elsewhere whilst the woodwork is painted in black. A chesterfield sofa is in the window at the front, and there is a carpeted snug off to the left with a large stone fire-place and more exposed stone walling and a pool table in another room at the rear. The bar to the right is a slightly larger, L-shape room which also had a stone fire-place, darts board and a plasma showing the football. There were some unusual beers on tap, namely Full Moon (their own, presumably), Milk Street Brewery’s Zig Zag, Palmer’s 200 and the seasonal Twelfth Night. Ciders were very well represented with Thatcher’s Gold, Blackthorn, Black Rat, Thatcher’s Heritage, Thatcher’s Traditional and a trio of Wilkins Farmhouse – Sweet, Medium or Dry. Most of the pints were priced at a very reasonable £2.80 or so.
