An outstanding micro as described below, this was a very welcome break from a long drive down the M5, well worth the effort. It remains as described, a micro disguised as a traditional local. Ales on draught were Wobbly Bob, Shropshire Gold, Severn Boat, BBF Milk Stout, Church End Goat’s Milk, Silver King, Jarl, White Rat and black Forest Cherry Stout. We didn’t ge to to try all of them, but those we did were in perfect condition. The ciders were from Minchew’s, Heartlands, Chisel Jersey, Dabinets and New Orchard. This is a definite for a revisit and an essential part of a town crawl.

Lovely old exterior and interior with the bar at the front and more seating at the rear. A must visit if in the area.

As others have said, this is a tremendous micropub. As many as 10 beers on the bar counter or on the rack behind. Bristol Beer Factory Milk Stout and Phoenix Wobbly Bob are on all the time - unless it gets drunk dry by the regulars. My half of Uley Pigs Ear 5% was in very good condition (NBSS 4). I'll definitely be back.
In fact, after that quick afternoon visit, I was back again the same evening and had three more halves, all in very good condition. Rating improved from 8 to 9.

Perfect litle micro pub, that I was so impressed with, I was googling travelodge prices whilst waiting for a storm to pass over. £30 in December. I think I will come back, so much to explore in this interesting town.
Two roomed, ales balanced on the bar and gravity fed. A large collection of ciders and perries.
Bulding itself a black and white timbered beauty.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Cross House Tavern
Excellent micro-pub in the right-hand half of one of the town's many fine old black-and-white timbered buildings. Just one table (and a few stools) in the compact bar area at the front, plus a couple more in the smaller rear rooms. Five interesting beers of varying strengths from jacketed casks on a rustic stillage on the bar-back, plus another - Three Tuns XXX (£4.00) - from one of three more casks perched on the counter. With a friendly welcome, this one is well worth seeking out.

Great little micropub with a good choice of beers served from the barrels behind the bar. Fyne ales Jarl, Enville Ginger, Goff's White Knight, Jaipur, White Rat plus a couple more when I called in. Also a selection of Ciders and Perry's. Well worth a visit.
