Much as described by Blackthorn, there is now a more formal dining room at one end. The staff were efficient and friendly, the food was excellent value - well-cooked pub classics in generous portions, and served very quickly. Ales on were Butcombe Original and Exmoor Stag, the latter in perfect condition. This would make a great local, and I'd be very happy to come back anytime.

An attractive, stone-built and whitewashed country pub in the centre of this small village. Inside it’s a single room bar with a suitably “olde worlde” charm with exposed stone walls, beams on the ceiling and a carpeted floor to give a cosy ambience rather than reclaimed boards which seem to be the rage everywhere these days. There’s a decent selection of seating with a number of wooden pews as well as tables and chairs.
There’s a large fireplace at one end with a few copper pans hanging up above. At the other end of the pub is a dartboard, and there are also a couple of plasma’s hung in between, which seemed a bit out of place for a cosy old pub. These were showing the football on a recent Saturday afternoon visit.
There are a few outside tables at the front of the pub, and this is a pleasant spot with some colourful rose bushes and plenty of pot plants. There looked to be a decent “pub grub” menu chalked up on a board, and there was also a range of pizza’s on another board which are also available to take away.
Beers on tap were Wadworth’s Horizon, Henry’s IPA and Marston’s Pedigree. Ciders were Blackthorn and Thatcher’s Gold.
