An interesting old building a little modernised inside but still retaining some intrigue as you enter the corridor through to the main bar. The two available cask ales were somewhat less intriguing both from Butcombe, Original and Adam Henson's Rare Breed which to be fair the later was in good nick and a decent pint albiet at the more expensive end of the Frome price scale at £5.75.
Again a decent pub without being outstanding.

This ancient buildings attributes have been very well described in the previous review. On a Saturday the main bar was better provided with staff, which is just as well as it was pretty busy. Interestingly, no one was using the smart and well furnished rooms along the corridor: perhaps too smart! The bar has four hand pumps with just two beers from Butcombe, the Original 4% and Adam Henson's Rare Breed 3.8% £5.75/pint. (The other two handles had Thatcher ciders as placeholders.) I can't get excited about Butcombe beers, but I reckoned that my half of Rare Breed was in very good condition, without getting regretful that I didn't have a pint.

Interesting looking building (well, I think so anyway) of significant age. Enter through what I assume to be an old alley, the servery is located in the huge, scruffy, double-mezzanined rear room, with several separate rooms off said corridor, all a bit Blue Anchor in Helston. Obviously this place spectacularly failed to get anywhere near that benchmark. Two Butcombe ales were clipped with one keen, though thoroughly over-worked barmaid who was juggling bar orders, serving food to hotel guests and fending-off enquiries from an early arriving wedding party. After an interminable wait I ended-up with a poor Rare Breed (NBSS 1.5) which ended-up watering a plant in the rear courtyard. An ominous start to the day’s crawling.
