Roadside pub with very limited opening hours at present. I believe it was only around 9-10 hours per week. I'd saved it until last on my trip to Somerset, given it didn't open until 6pm on my Saturday visit.
Primarily a food pub, I was lucky to secure a table before diners who had reserved tables were due to arrive. All other customers were there to eat. With Butcombe Original being the only real ale, this wasn't too much of a surprise. I opted for the Thatcher's Rascal on keg.
The pub itself has one single large room surrounding the bar. The car park at the front is a good size too. Disappointing end to a day out in Somerset.

An attractive stone built pub that looks as though it would be more at home in The Cotswolds than the middle of Somerset. As you walk through the front door you come in to a very small hallway / lobby area with wood panelling and dark wooden doors. This theme continues in to the front bar which has an unusual appearance with plenty of dark wood panelling and architrave on light cream walls, and the sombre red velvet bench seating almost merges in to the carpet which is an identical colour. The whole room is reminiscent of an old fashioned hotel lounge, and could do with a bit more colour in it. Not unpleasant, but definitely different. There were however a couple of small pictures dotted around, and a real log fire which was a nice touch on a cold January evening.
At the rear of the pub there were a few different areas – a small slated tiled section with three low leather sofa’s all facing each other, a skittle alley which had a game in progress and a dated looking restaurant area with artexed walls.
There was a good choice of food on the menu and a few specials chalked up on boards above the bar with most of the pub classics you would expect such as ham, egg & chips, lasagne, curry of the day, etc., as well as a few more adventurous dishes. Food seemed good value with most of the mains being around the £8/£9 mark and very generous portions. My Chicken, Bacon & Ham Pasta was a substantial dish and came with some tasty garlic bread and a decent side salad. Mrs. B’s Thai Green Chicken Curry was still tasty enough, but perhaps slightly less successful overall. It had a very bland appearance with the rice, chicken and curry sauce all being a virtually identical colour, and the sauce was far too runny.
Beers on tap were Cheddar’s Potholer, Butcombe and Wadworth’s Henry’s Bitter. The solitary cider was Thatcher’s Gold.
