Don't know how to keep ales here. Fool that I am I keep trying this place in the hope it improves but invariably the real ales are on the turn and some downright sour. Sadly Bridgwater is a town that knows nothing about ales and how to keep and serve them.

The Fountain was second Bridgwater pub and my last of the day in Somerset. It has a nice situation in the centre of the town next to the river. The ale range can probably only be bettered by the Wetherspoons (unless there was somewhere I was missing). But unlike the 'spoons, this was a proper pub. Neither did it have the local characters as in the Bristol & Exeter Inn. The pub is fairly small. But it was busy. I sat next to a group of people using sign language. Ales were Heritage Ales Victorian Porter, Moles Rucking Mole, Black Templar (apparently Landlord's Choice), Black Rat Cider (from a flask in the fridge) & Quantock Ginger Cockney & White Hind. Good pub with a traditional feel.

Too rough for me, it felt like a Saturday night but was the middle of the day.
Two hot barmaids but other than that no way.

Called in one Friday during the day recently. Good crowd. 5 ales on all at very competitive price. Mole Catcher was spot on. I will definitely visiting next time I'm in Bridgwater.
|
Open again but no real ale when I tried to get some here yesterday. I didn't stop.
|
Now closed. Will the last person to leave Bridgwater please turn off the lights.
|
I was impressed with the beer choice yet again. It is worth investigating.
|
My original postive experience has been replace by some less than positive ones regarding the clientele.
|
A nice pub with a good selection of ales, friendly staff and clientele.
|
Excellent well kept real ales and friendly atmosphere, one of the best pubs in Bridgwater if you want a decent pint and relaxed non-threatening atmosphere. Highly recommended!
