I hadn't planned to visith this pub in the village of Wanstrow and on the main A359, but with 2 others unexpectedly closed, I was onto a reserve list!

There is a single bar that serves both drinkers and diners. I could only see one person eating and assume that the chef was the landlady. Whilst she was in the kitchen, another guy who was playing darts (dartboard to the front right corner of the room) came behind the bar to serve. Whether he was a local who was available to serve, or whether he was the barman taking time out to play darts, I've no idea!

Bath Gem is the regular ale here. The guest was St Austell Tribute, whilst a third handpull was clipped with Moon's Medium Cider, which was as dry as old boots. Nevertheless, it was a new one for me and from a local producer I'd only tried once before previously.

A village local that seemed to welcome visitors, without suspicion. Parking to the side of the pub is limited, but is also available around the corner in the side street.
