A traditional old pub in the middle of the High Street, this is an L-shape building divided in to three different rooms, and has a somewhat dated feel, although it is by no means unpleasant.

The main lounge bar at the front of the pub is itself a smaller “L”, with other rooms off each leg. Decor is quite traditional, with cream plasterwork on the walls, red patterned carpet on the floor and numerous red upholstered chairs along with an old tiled fire place and various copper plates. Behind this is a smaller room which looks just like your grandmother’s sitting room, complete with a bookcase, armchairs, TV and a stone fire-place. This effect was emphasised by the fact that there was nobody in there – perhaps it is a private area and the door had inadvertently been left open.

To the right was a much more open bar area, and this had a fairly basic appearance with some type of lino on the floor, a TV and a darts board. Food did not appear to feature prominently here, in fact I’m not even sure if it’s offered, although I did spot a solitary cling-filmed roll perched on a shelf behind the bar. The barmaid was friendly and was joking with the locals, and a quiz night is run on certain nights.

The solitary beer on tap was Butcombe, whilst ciders were Thatcher’s Gold and Thatcher’s Traditional. Overall I quite liked this, and whilst it is somewhat dated and certainly doesn’t have much in the way of a beer range, it is nonetheless a proper, unpretentious pub, no doubt much appreciated by the locals.
