The name of this pub infers that it may be a trendy wine bar, but in fact has the appearance of a strange cross between a somewhat dated pub and a Berni Inn from the 1970’s. It’s a good sized, L-shape pub with a pool table at the front, but otherwise it’s packed full of tables and chairs suggesting they do a lot of food.
The decor is somewhat dated, with plenty of dark wood around, and even varnished wooden boards on the ceiling which look as though they’d be more at home on the floor. The flooring is all patterned carpet, and there are red velvet drapes at each window along with a copper chimney hood above the fireplace. Fish tanks feature prominently, with two large conventional tanks, plus a couple of six foot tall vertical ones. Dual aspect windows afford good views of the channel I would imagine (it was dark when we visited). We didn’t check the menu, but noted several dishes chalked up on a board.
The solitary beer on tap was Exmoor Wild Cat. There were two other pumps on the bar, one for Bass and one unlabelled, but these were not in use. Ciders faired somewhat better with Thatcher’s Gold, Blackthorn and Magner’s Golden Draught.
