An old traditional multi roomed local pub hidden away in country lanes
An old traditional multi roomed local pub hidden away in country lanes. The split level bar with flagstones and exposed stone walls leads onto separate rooms.
A good selection of pub grub is served, along with pizza. Butcombe original and a guest - usually a pale ale from a local brewery. Traditional style cider.
The small garden is on the line of a public footpath past the pub.
At the east end of the pub down a short passage is the old Cider Bar – a small room with a screeded floor, a small stone bar counter which looks to date from the 1960s with its Formica top, a bar back fitting that could also date from the 1960s, a two sided pew, a short high backed settle with fielded panels and another old settle. On all the seating are plaques to remember former customers and while these are to be seen in pubs in ones or twos here there is 16 of them! Two of the three tables have marquetry panels of a horse & jockey and horseshoes and on the bar are a number of tins of snuff for free use! Up a step and through a door with leaded panel is a second bar with a parquet floor, another stone bar of the 1960s with a wooden top. Now a two-part room (presumable extended in the 1960s?) there is a large stone fireplace in the rear area and flagstone-like floor. Beyond this is a dining room and at the rear a skittle alley in a separate building.
