Somerset & Dorset, Burnham-On-Sea

E TA left this review about Somerset & Dorset

A rather dull seaside pub on a busy high street, mainly used by those incapacitated by weight, age or ignorance. The Victorian corner building houses a single L-shaped bar with mostly wooden flooring and a raised platform, carpeted, in one corner from which karaoke and other torments are delivered on Sundays. It smells like a care home. There is a pool table in one corner next to a Victorian fireplace, there are TV screens showing live sports, a dartboard, gaming machines and an annoyingly loud jukebox. Two handpumps on the bar, but the inept young barman was unable to produce a pint of Landlord from the first as it had run out, though he did eventually succeed in pouring a pint of Abbott from the other, which hadn’t. Life was too short to try the keg range, which consisted of Guinness, John Smith’s, Cruzcampo, Foster’s Brewdog Wingman, Strongbow and Thatcher’s Haze and Gold. Hardly county standard.
