Well described by others, below, and certainly a ‘must visit’ pub, both for its historic interior and its excellent beer quality. The only disappointment was the attitude of the barmaid who was dismissive and a little cold towards us and to other customers who asked for Bass, which had gone off – maybe she was having a bad hair day. That said, it wouldn’t put me off coming back for the beer alone and spending time enjoying the ales. The other ales on during this visit were Bath Bellringer, Rev James Original, Otter Bitter and Whitefriar. Stan’s Cider was also on draft. Definitely deserving of its GBG status.

Another wonderful multi- roomed Bath pub, deserving of its heritage status. Beers were Bath Bellringer and Maximus IPA, Spitfire,Titanic Plum Porter and Bass, the Cider was Stans Cheddar Valley. A must visit in Bath.

A fantastic unspoilt pub located just a few minutes’ walk from the main shopping area, this has been a licenced preemies since 1760 and is listed on Camra’s National Inventory of Heritage Pubs. Now owned by Bath brewer Abbey Ales, it’s one of four pubs that they have in the central Bath area, and to my mind easily the best. In fact it’s probably the best pub in Bath, regardless of who owns it.
Internally it consists of several small rooms, all quite cosy and atmospheric. The central room is perhaps the cosiest of the lot, with old wooden boards on the floor and much wood panelling on the walls along with some small frosted windows along the top. Space is quite limited with the three or four tables packed in quite tightly. Various old pictures of the pub and local cricket team are on the walls, whilst a small wooden fireplace to one side had a coal fire blazing away which was a nice touch on a cold November evening. To the right in the next room is the bar counter, and this too was made of wood with a curved end. A stone fireplace was at the rear, and this also had a real fire going.
Beers on tap consisted of just Bellringer from the owners, and this was served directly from barrels racked up behind the bar. This was joined by Directors, Hobgoblin Gold and Bass, the latter of which were available in jugs which many punters seemed to be partaking of. Ciders were Thatcher’s Gold and Cheddar Valley. All in all, a great pub and well worth taking the walk from the centre to track it down.
