Thatchers Arms, Moorland

One of the last remaining traditional pubs on the Somerset Levels which is little changed since a refit in the early 1960s. Offering the pub essentials of good conversation and good beer or cider. It attracts 'locals' from miles around. The small public bar has a counter with ply panelled front and black Formica top from the 1960s, bar back shelves look to be of similar dates with the central one having Formica on it. There is a large inglenook fireplace with brick infill possibly from c.1960 with an old bread oven to the left, which is covered by an old curved settle. Watch for the old low beam on your way to the bar. The floor is modern and a short draught partition by the door was removed a few years ago. The second room is combined with the skittle alley making it an L-shaped room. It has service from a hatch with a pair of tiny doors and has another old settle. Outside gents' and ladies'. Closed Tue, Wed and Thu lunchtimes. Opens at 4.30pm. Usually open all day Sunday and most Saturdays.
