E TA left this review about The Bath Arms

Not much has changed since Blackthorn’s review, below, apart from resurrection of the skittle alley, which is ow in service, and a disproportionate rise in their prices, presumably to fleece the tourists who come in for a traditional Somerset pub experience. The staff were friendly enough, the other customers harmless, and dogs were made to feel welcome. Five handpumps on the bar, two dry, the others dispensing Potholer, Gorge Best and Goat’s Leap, all in very good condition and most enjoyable despite the price. Stan’s Cider was also available, plus a selection of keg. I’m not sure I’d make an effort to come here, but I’d drop in for a swift pint if passing.

Appears works are ongoing inside with the car park Heras fenced off. Could this return soon.

Blackthorn _ left this review about Bath Arms Hotel

A large, stone built pub on the main road through Cheddar that looks as though it must have been a hotel or a coaching inn at one time. There’s a good sized patio out the front with plenty of benches and a smaller beer garden at the rear with a couple of climbing frames for the kids. A bare chested guy ordering at the bar was slightly off putting, although whether this is typical of their normal clientele I’m not sure.

Inside, the main bar is an L-shaped affair, mostly carpeted although with some laminate flooring as well. There is some wood panelling on the walls, a fireplace at each end and a couple of plasma screens. A darts board was in one corner. Beyond this is another room that must have been a skittle alley in a former life but now houses a couple of leather sofa’s, a few more tables and a pool table. Off to the left is a room that is very reminiscent of an old hotel drawing room with wood panelling on all the walls. All the tables here were laid up for food, although nobody was actually eating in here on a recent Thursday lunch time visit. Beyond this is a lounge, although this was closed off.

There was an extensive “pub grub” menu, with all the usual suspects such as lasagne, Chilli con carne, Chicken Tikka Masala and Ham, Egg & Chips along with sections for sandwiches, jackets, etc. Most of the mains were around the £8 mark, and there was also a specials board with another half dozen or so dishes on. Service at the bar was a little slow, with the guy who served me taking at least twice as long to key everything in to the till as he did to actually pour the drinks.

Beers on tap were Old Speckled Hen, Tribute, Doom Bar, Courage and the very local Potholer. Ciders were Blackthorn and Thatcher’s Gold.
