The Who'd Have Thought It, Yelverton

Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Who'd Have Thought It

One of two local pubs with the same name, the other in St Dominick closed last week. It is situated at the bottom of a steep hill in the village of Milton Combe. As such, you won't get a mobile signal inside the pub here.

There are a number of rooms. From the central corridor, the small bar is off to the left, there are a couple of rooms to the front right, separated by a fireplace and there are 2 further rooms along the corridor to the rear right, which ultimately leads to the toilets, the pub's B & B accommodation, a small garden area and a large car park alongside a stream.

The pub has flagstone floors and exposed stone walls. Pictures of local life can be found on the walls. I sat in the first room to the right which has some sewing implements on display on a Singer sewing machine.

There are 5 handpulls at the bar, but just 2 ales were on - St Austell Tribute & Firebird Yakima. One of the handpulls also has a Sandford Orchards Devon Scrumpy clip on it, with the bag-in-the-box cider located behind the bar. Camden Pale was on keg. My Yakima was in much better condition than the Firebrand beer I had tried in the Olde Plough Inn in Bere Ferrers. I didn't enquire about a CAMRA discount. So, I'm not sure if that is still available.

Food appears to be popular here with all tables in the bar taken and other diners scattered around the pub's other rooms.

Quite a nice village pub which was fairly welcoming but clearly has a focus on food.
