Just popped in for a Sunday lunch whilst travelling by. So pleased to see that food is served until 4pm and very dog friendly. Had an excellent, home cooked from scratch roast. Lovely. Pop in.
Food was average at best, my scampi was overcooked, my son had eggs which had very anaemic looking yolks and he told me after we had left the pub that his ham was crunchy! Considering the price which was approximately £15 for scampi, chips and peas, I was disappointed. Another issue was the cheap quality of the table sauces, the ketchup had the consistency of red and tasteless water. If you want to charge these prices then the quality and standard of the food needs improving. Go to the Quicksilver down the road as the food is much better quality and the prices are more reasonable.
If you like small old pubs with decent food, amazing atmosphere and friendly people around you that's the place for you!
Feb.2022 - Once again I meet up with retired publicans - those with the discerning tastes and an assiduous attitude to where and when they dine and sup. We three are all of a like mind, requiring perfect pints, salubrious viands and an engaging atmosphere. Invariably, I choose an establishment on the Cask Marque Ale Trail, knowing at least one element of our fastidious requirements will be met. The Inn is a traditional 16th century Somerset 'coaching inn' with inglenooks, log fires, slate floors low ceilings and oak beams aplenty. Probably, internally, it hasn't changed much from the original, being haphazard in layout. The beer, Palmers Copper 3.7% ABV, from Palmers Ales Bridport, is brewed in one of Britain’s oldest breweries and has been since 1794. The only thatched brewery in the UK, and the ale was excellent and well deserving the Certificate of Accreditation. Our lunches also received no complaints other than the size of the portions received by my guests. With apologies to the chef they left their plates only partly depleted. My Steak & Ale pie, was also of generous proportions and also excellently presented and I could have stopped eating - but it was too good to leave. OK- call me a glutton. The only downside of the visit and it wasn't really the fault of the establishment, but it did impact on our stay, the tiresome noisiness of a toddler at the next table - it made comfortable conversation very difficult. We were however, all impressed with the place on our first visit and will do so again. But be warned - if you want to have a 'sit' ith the Gents loo - it's best if you have very short legs. Just saying.
