No longer a Wadsworth pub and now in the same ownership as the Ring O'Bells in Widcombe, just south of Bath Spa station. A mix of local and national brands. My half of Electric Bear Gizmo (brewed in Bath) was fine (NBSS 3.5) but not really to my taste. Worth the short walk out from the Star, but not a patch on it as a pub.

As described below, this is a Wadworth’s town pub with little to mark it out as special. On arrival we had to navigate around 2 scruffy individuals smoking in the doorway, one of whom turned out to be the barman. At the front was a sorry-looking set of tables and chairs from which to enjoy the view of the traffic queuing for the bridge. It was empty and felt drab and neglected inside, with a mixed bag of background music which helped raise the mood from suicidal to dismayed. Ales on were 6X, Seafarers, Henry’s and Swordfish. I tried the 6X which was in average condition, certainly not good enough to justify another. I doubt I’ll return.

A Wadworth’s street corner pub a ten minute walk from the town centre. First impressions weren’t good with a couple of youths stood outside spitting and swearing. Hopefully they’re not regular clientele so I won’t hold that against it.

The next problem was getting to the bar. Although there were only about half a dozen people in the pub, they were all clustered at the small bar, many of them sat on the high chairs that were there and seemed reluctant to move even a few inches so I could get there to order. This is a pet hate of mine, especially when the rest of the pub is empty and it really doesn’t create a very welcoming atmosphere.

After we’d got our drinks and sat down, things started to look up. The pub itself is a pleasant enough space with plenty of thick wooden beams on the ceiling, although how genuine these are I’m not sure (sat at the very front of the pub and looking up, this in fact seems to be a false ceiling, a couple of feet below the real one). The floor is mostly wooden boards, although a small area on the left is carpeted and also has floor to ceiling wood panelling and a large mirror. To the right is a brick fireplace with a wood burning stove and a number of local pictures adorn the walls. A couple of boards advertised the fact that a new menu was coming soon.

The bar counter itself is a wood panelled affair with a couple of spiral wooden pillars at each end. Whether the building was at one time a chemists I’m not sure, but there were some old wooden drawers behind the bar labelled as Throat Lozenges, Stomach Pills, Tooth Powders, etc. Down a few steps there is a small landing with a solitary table and chairs, and another flight of steps leads to a patio area with some wooden decking.

Beers on tap were Wadworth’s 6X and Henry’s IPA. Ciders were Weston’s Old Rosie and Stowford Press.
