Another pub I made a return visit to and found this one roughly the same as my remembrances in layout but looking a bit smarter and has obviously been spruced up over the intervening years. Perhaps last year when Old Boots tried to visit. But what has changed is that it is now a Butcombe owned pub and the block of five hand pumps on the bar was dispensing four of the breweries beers with Original doubled on two, then Gold, Rare Breed Pale Ale and Coffee Stout on the others. My half of Gold was perfectly pleasant.
A popular pub for its traditional pub food menu but there are plenty of small areas to hide away in just for a pint.

A decent large corner pub that still retains the traditional inn feel about it. The pub is now owned by Butcombe Brewery who have slightly refurbished the pub to give it back some charm. Five handpumps with two from Butcombe, Liberation Brewery Sin Bin, Gower Brewery Up n Under and the fifth pump was a cider. The staff were friendly and chatty and our Butcombe Rare Breed was of the highest quality.
