Mildmay Arms, Yeovil

A stone built pub, part of which is kept as a restaurant and does B&B, on what was once the main road but is now a quiet village street. There is a small car park opposite and two or three parking spaces next to the pub. There is a large patio area set in the angle of the L-shaped building, where tables and benches are set for diners when weather allows. Inside there are two bars and a restaurant. The decor and furnishings are basic, not terribly comfortable. There is a TV showing live sports in the smaller front bar. Two handpumps in each bar, Doombar and Butcombes being dispensed in both rooms. There are also 4 boxed ciders on the bar. It was a little pricey but being close to the A303 means that isn't too much of a surprise. I found it a bit soulless and I don't see it being a regular stop-off.

Marked pub as open

The Cherry tree in Canterbury is one of those pub that I really wanted to like, but could'nt. The selection of Ales was quite impressive for such a small pub, and considering that it really is geared toward students, I was hopeful. However, what let the place down wasn't the selection of beers, or the food, but the staff. The student s who work their are nice enough, but the management behind the bar and the end of the bar made you really feel unwelcome. Very dissapointing!!

this pub is now open again [admin note: marked pub as open 13/01/10]
