An old coaching inn first licensed in 1640. As well as the three regular beers, two guests from local breweries are generally available. The bar snacks are excellent value, and likewise the main meals. This friendly and popular hostelry is a classic example of a traditional Somerset inn and is the centre of many local community activities. Watch out for the parrot.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: II
The star attraction at this large roadside hotel is the delightful small bar at the back. It appears to have been fitted out between the wars and has a small servery with an L-shaped counter and ornamented copper top. The walls are lined with imitation wood panelling (a common embellishment in inter-war pubs giving an antique effect at low cost). Note the sliding hatch to the cross-wise corridor. The numerous other public rooms are all either very plain or modernised. The main bar, rear left, has casks stillaged at the back of the servery.
The star attraction at this late 18th century large roadside hotel is the delightful small bar at the back, directly in front of the main entrance. It appears to have been fitted out in the interwar period (or just post-war) and has a small servery with an L-shaped counter and ornamented copper counter top. The Dalex handpumps have a date of 1946 on them. The walls are lined with imitation wood paneling, a feature that was used to embellish many a pub between the wars to give an antique effect at minimal cost. Note the sliding hatch to cross-wise corridor. There are numerous other public rooms both for drinking and dining but these are either very plain or modernised. The main bar at the rear on the left has casks stillaged at the back of the servery. Look for the framed details of it importance as one of the first post office sorting places in the country
