A recent addition to the Good Beer Guide, but even more recently - there was work going on as I passed the pub this morning, and a notice apologising because the kitchen was not in action - it seems to have changed hands with a concomitant makeover and change of emphasis. There are still five hand pumps, but only Bass and Otter available. My two Bass drinking friends were not impressed, but we had just come from the Star Inn where it's as good as it gets. My half of Otter Ale was about NBSS 3, so pretty good really. Our visit coincided with an evening rush, and the staff were no doubt under a bit of pressure. Enough of allowances: not on my list for a revisit, but it's only five minutes from the station, so never say never.

Long, low ceilinged and fairly modernised interior with some traditional touches via the flagstone floor, chunky wood tables and pew seating. Some modern repro breweriana on display. Four cask on the go; TTL, Otter, one I forgot to note, and of course I went straight for the Bass and was rewarded with an excellent pint (NBSS 4). Surprisingly busy for a Tuesday evening with a bustling atmosphere. Close to the station and a good discovery, I’ll be back for the Bass and train station convenience. GBG'23 listed and rightfully so. 7.5

Much as described by Blackthorn, below, this modernised high street pub is still very much a food-led establishment, though it may have mellowed since the previous review. The signage is very contemporary, but at the end of the day its’s still just a pub. It feels a bit odd entering the rear garden by going upstairs, but otherwise it’s a comfortable arrangement. It was busy with diners, mainly tourists, plus a coven of ladies wot lunch hogging the bar and knocking back cheap wine. I quite liked the ambiance and the décor, which was helped by a few framed signed rugby shirts, and the pub was very dog-friendly. The staff let it down a bit – the barman was rude and surly, but efficient nonetheless. Ales on were Pride, Gem and Exeter Avocet. I went for the Avocet and found it in good condition, though a bit over-chilled. Worth making the effort to find, and I’d like to come back and eat here some time.
