A good sized pub in this small village, and a handy pit stop if you need some refreshment after having climbed up to the nearby Tyndale Monument. There are a few tables and chairs outside the front of the pub, as well as a small beer garden at the rear.
Internally it’s mostly one open plan room, although with plenty of supporting timberwork to break up the space somewhat and the bar counter was quite an attractive timber construction. Flooring is predominantly blue pattered carpet with some slate style tiles around the bar area, whilst the walls were a mixture of exposed stone work and Artex type plaster in either cream or pale blue finishes. A large stone fire-place was off to the left with a number of leather arm chairs in front of it, and numerous pewter tankards were hanging from beams on the ceiling. Another room off to the left had a wood strip floor and looked as though it was more geared up for dining with many of the tables being laid up for food.
Beers on tap were Gloucester Brewing’s Gold, Purity Gold, Wickwar Bob and Butcombe Original. Ciders were well represented with Thatcher’s Gold, Addlestones, Rosie’s Pig and both Explorer and Philosopher from Orchard Pig. All in all, a very pleasant pub and well worth checking out.

A fine small town pub off the beaten track, which does B&B and good food. There is a small car park across the road which is reached by way of a perilous hill, and there are one or two parking spaces outside the pub. The ground floor is in two halves. The left hand side is a tea room through which the accommodation is reached, and the right hand side is the bar and restaurant. The building dates from the 17th Century in part, and some of the timber frame can be seen. The barman is passionate about his ales and ensures they meet the highest quality. Tasters are available if requested. Six ales and a cider on draft, all were in perfect condition, although the barman insisted on changing one pint because he thought it was too cloudy (it tasted perfect). Food was excellent value for money, a reasonable menu very well cooked and not too pricey. Well worth a visit for a meal or a stop-over.
