Blackthorn _ left this review about The Globe Inn

Since my previous review this has been refurbished and now sports a slightly more contemporary atmosphere, although still manages to retain much of it’s charm. The front bar has old flagstones towards the front, with some wood strip flooring behind. On the walls there is some khaki green wood panelling lower down with cream plasterwork above, and there was a brick fire-place off to one side.

Beers this time were Tribute, Cheddar’s Potholer and Butcombe. Ciders were Thatcher’s Gold, Thatcher’s Heritage and Symonds Founder’s Reserve.

Review from 26th October 2010:
A traditional old pub located just a minute’s walk from the main high street. There’s a long flagstone corridor running the whole length of the pub with a large bar off to the left. This had a tiled floor and a couple of plasma’s showing sport of some description. There’s a smaller and cosier looking bar off to the right with wood flooring. Towards the back is a small room with a pool table.

There’s a courtyard garden at the rear complete with a smoking shed that also sported a plasma. This seems rather superfluous. It was initially off until one punter came out for his fag, turned it on, and then promptly returned to the pub leaving it switched on.

There is a selection of old maps and globes around the place which seems entirely appropriate considering the name of the pub. There was an interesting looking menu chalked up on a board with most of the dishes around the £9 mark, although we didn’t eat on this occasion.

Beers on this occasion were Butcombe and Doom Bar. Ciders were Blackthorn, Bulmer’s and Symonds Founders Reserve.
