Nicely summed up by Quinno, below, as micros go this one is a disappointment as well as a health hazard. The single room bar has a mix of seating styles, but its main sensory stimulus is of the olfactory nature. There is a definite miasma, partly from the underlying damp in the building, which has caused partial collapse of the ceiling, visible even through the fabric butterflies with which they have tried to hide it, and partly from the landlady’s smoke from her robust smoking stance in the front door. Descending the rickety wooden stairs into the cellar brings further joy to the nose, ostensibly from something which recently died there, or maybe from the leaking sewerage system, who knows? It’s the same team that ran Just ales in Wells, and when asked, they told us that Wells had never recovered from Covid, so they moved here. Three ales on – Red Rhapsody from Fine Tuned, which was in sub-optimal condition, Nottingham Brewery Porter and Frome Ales’s Blonde; we couldn’t bring ourselves to try the latter two as it all felt too grubby. I don’t think I want to come back.

Oh now what to say about this one. It’s a small room which smelt of damp and had an attendant twog. Three cask on, my choice of Goffs Porter was on the turn (NBSS 1.5). This was taken off and later replaced by Potbelly Beijing Black which, whilst an improvement, wasn’t GBG-worthy either (NBSS 2.5). Left underwhelmed. Inevitably the local CAMRA’s have Guided it.
