"Good beer and cider choices plus classic pub food"
Overview
A family-run 17th century, tile-hung coaching inn ideally positioned for visitors to the Somerset Levels or walkers looking for a cosy respite from the rigours of the Mendip Hills. Warmed by two open log fireplaces, the inviting, wavy-beamed interior has an array of fine old photos of the area. Draw close to the bar to inspect the ever-rotating selection of excellent beers, often from microbreweries in Somerset, such as Exmoor and Cotleigh. The beer choice increases significantly during the pub’s popular Summer beer festival. Cider drinkers are spoiled for choice, too, with Thatchers on tap and Rich’s Cider created at a local farm just a couple of miles away. The classic food here also tends to be very locally sourced, and check the specials board, one highlight is pie of the day. For the under 10's, there is a special menu. In summer, the large enclosed beer garden and children’s play area comes into its own, as does the heated gazebo.

About the area
Somerset remains rural and unspoiled, and ever popular areas to visit are the limestone and red sandstone Mendip Hills rising to over 1,000 feet, and by complete contrast, to the south and southwest, the flat landscape of the Somerset Levels. Another popular spot, the Quantocks, once the haunt of poets Coleridge and Wordsworth, are noted for their gentle slopes, heather-covered moorland expanses and red deer.
