The Hop Pole, Lower Weston, Bath

One of those pubs that just isn't quite as good as you'd hoped. It's a bit out of town, so maybe what was missing was a crowd - I was there early evening. Maybe it was the beer - it's a Bath Ales pub - in good nick, but the pint I had was just brown and boring. Overall, it's worth popping into if you're headed that way (maybe aiming for a pub a little further out?), but probably not worth the 20-minute stroll from the centre of Bath otherwise.
