At the centre of the village this free house is very much a community pub.

Usually two ales served from local and South West breweries.

The slate floor bar, warmed by an open fire in the winter, leads to an eating area where good locally produced home cooked food is provided.

The skittle alley also accommodates functions.

Families and dogs are welcome in the pub and the large garden.

Sport regularly shown on the TV in the bar.

Situated at the foot of the Quantock hills and just a 10 minute walk from the West Somerset Railway.

Information for this venue is provided by the Somerset Branch of CAMRA
