The White Horse, Twerton, Bath

Blue Scrumpy left this review about The White Horse

Situated at the top of a hill in the Twerton area of Bath, the White Horse used to be a pub that majored on cask ales. These days, it's more of a locals' pub where lager is the drink of choice. There are still 4 handpulls on the bar, but just 2 were clipped with Courage Directors & Black Sheep Respire. The landlord was trying to push the Directors and had only pulled it through on the morning of my visit. One of the locals said that there were few beers better than Directors. My experience of Directors has been somewhat different! Ciders on the bar were Thatcher's Gold, Inch's & Blackthorn.

The pub consists of one long and thin room. There is a lounge area at one end, with a large-screen TV (showing horse racing) and a pool table at the other. There is also a dartboard near the front entrance, as well as a games machine and a jukebox. Music was playing at a low volume, but live music appears occasionally.

Dogs are welcome, with canine snacks provided. In fact, the snack selection for humans was one of the most substantial I have ever witnessed in a pub. For outdoor drinking, there is a patio next to the car park at the rear, with some undercover seating. Wifi is provided in the pub.

Unlike ETA's visit, I was made very welcome and whilst this is unlike many of the pubs in and around Bath city centre, it certainly has its merits as a community local.
