Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Ale Way

Proper micro-pub in part of the station building, with the remainder still in its original use. Very little seating in the bar itself, but there are six tables in two small rooms upstairs and several more outside (round the corner beside the car park). Four handpumps on the tiny counter, offering New Bristol's Bristol Bitter (£4.70), Redemption Pale Ale, Exeter Darkness and a Taunton cider.

E TA left this review about The Ale Way

A small office which is part of the station complex, big enough inside for about 6 people, plus some space in the station yard for al fresco drinkers. There are about 4 bar stools, no tables, so it gets quite crowded, especially when a coach load of grockles turns up and starts procrastinating about what to drink. The friendly young staff though are patient, far more so that I would expect. Four hand pumps dispensing Taunton Vintage Cider, Cotleigh Barn Owl, RCH Pitchfork and Nuttycombe Doonicans, all in perfect condition. There was also a bank of taps with Courtney’s Silly Cow cider, Elgood’s Cherry, Utopian British Lager, New Bristol Duvet Vous and Quantock Titanium. A pretty good micro by any standards, well worth a visit, even breaking a train journey, but check opening times first.
