I worked in Ilminster for about a year and never found this pub (and the Crown a few doors along) open at lunchtimes - and, let's face it, you wouldn't come to Ilminster for its nightlife!

A terraced stone pub, with mock Tudor style windows.
The interior is an open plan long room, with a pool table at one end. The decor sports green and red plain walls, with some nice features, like a stone fireplace (like a Tudor manor house). There are loads of pictures, prints, ornaments and brass bits around, like an old typewriter, to the point that its like a second-hand shop, or antique shop. Very traditional feel. The service was functional, the clientele older and friendly enough.
Beer; tap stuff, with one handpull that had either Otter's Amber Ale, or more likely, Ohanlons Stormsay. Two clips one pump. Whichever, it was on the turn and just passable, hence £2 a pint.
Not a place really for real ale - one pump. Another would help. A place to admire the curios more than the beer.
