Colin Walker left this review about The Bully Inn

The pub I was informed used to be a store, hence 2 Store Row in the Address. Quarter’s only pub was originally called The Bellerophon Inn. In Greek mythology Bellerophon was the son of the King of Corinth who tamed the winged horse Pegasus with the aid of a bridle given to him by the goddess Athena. It has been reported that a small picture of a winged horse was present on the back gate of the old inn, and the bowling club has a trophy called the Bellerophon Trophy. One of Nelson’s ships at the Battle of Trafalgar was called the Bellerophon, and another ship of that name built at Portsmouth was present at the Battle of Jutland. However, the Bellerophon title may also originate in the name of the first mine opened at Quarter, the Old Bellerophon.
Over time the pub’s title seems to have evolved into the shorter “Bully Inn”, much less of a mouthful than Bellerophon! The place has a well stocked bar and plenty of sitting room. There is an area to the side of the bar of which I would not call a lounge as the seating are was laid out in a restaurant style. This area can serve up to 30 people. This serve lunches and also an a la carte menu, pre theatre and a Sunday roast. Check out www.bullyinn.com
