Real ale discount scheme

A pleasant locals pub on a main road junction originally called the Royal Mail before becoming the Cricketers Arms and now Ale House.

A central bar with five hand pumps usually serving at least three cask ales and one cider but could be upto five cask ales at peak trading times from a huge range of sixty in the SIBA local beer catalogue.

A good range of reasonably priced and good quality food.

A very popular pub especially when there are major televised sporting events and Friday's and Saturdays with live music. Other events such as quiz nights are frequent and details can be found on the facebook page.

Near to Taunton station.
