Came here with friends the other weekend before walking to Avoncliff then Bradford. Sat in the very nice beer garden with a pint of Box Steam, The first pint was clearly off but they changed them over with no fuss, well worth a visit, 8/10

I visited this place with a friend earlier in the year. Its an attractive pub in a great spot so was looking forward to it. We ordered the "Dark and Hansome", took a slurp and found it was off. When trying to have our beers changed we suffered a drawn out conversation with the barmaid who assured us that it was fine; that she had sold loads that morning and it "is a strong beer"... We tried to exchange for a pint of "Blind House" and that too was off. Eventually we got a good pint. But didn't stay for a second, taking the short walk along the river to the Avoncliff where the same beers were served in tip top condition. I would like to be able to recommend this pub but dont feel I can.

As a former Freshforder (born and bred) it's nice to see some decent reviews of The Inn. It's been very much an eating house rather than a pub for many years now, which is a shame for locals who just want to enjoy a pint. On the plus side, it's in a beautiful setting and has character in spades. If you're passing that way, it's got to be worth dropping in.

Called in here in July and spent a delightful couple of hours supping ales from the Box Steam Brewery (I think this place and the nearby Cross Guns are the only pubs selling this lovely stuff).Nice little garden at the back,and I was asked if I'd like my ale in a jug - what's not to like? Also, its only a 5-10 minute walk up from the train station and afterwards you can head on to Avoncliff and the Cross Guns(about a mile's pleasant strolling)and get the train back from there - if you're heading back to Bath and Bristol for further ale sampling as we were!

i visited the Inn at the weekend and found it to be a wonderful haven the garden looked wonderful with the lights in the trees, and inside the staff were so welcoming it was a delight as so many pubs dont have this any more. Out side the pub it said new owner and new menu which i was looking forward to trying and when i did i was not dissapointed at all it came out looking as if it should of been in a top hotel not a country pub and tasted wonderful its such a joy to have food not from a microwave as so many pubs do. i will be going back time and time again and i do recomend it to any one of you.

I visited the Inn on Thursday, the new menu here with the new owners is truely wonderful. A good standard lunch time menu with three vegetarian options I must add. The new evening alcarte menu is out of this world. Just what the Inn needed, a touch of class.
The new real ales have made a great change too, and I must say they are wonderful.
I look forward to many enjoyable evenings here.
Well done keep it up

The location is stunning but I was a bit disappointed with this place after walking here from Avoncliff.
The pub is full of tat and is really geared toward being a foodie place, when one buys a beer the land-lady asks if she can put it on your tab like in a resturant.
Leave it a bit pubby!
I must declare my bias though, I'm a veggie and the menu was geared right up to newly trapped and hunted gastro-pub grub and stakes so I didn't realy fancy the one veggie option so I would reccomend, if in the area and iof you're hungry for food and beer, popping in here to see it for yourself.

Stunning rural location, delightful stone village close to quaint river. Great for Bath, Wells, etc. Nice stop-off for lunch if you're on your way south-east to Longleat. Pub is on edge of village at bottom of hill. Had very nice real ales and Ploughman's was both fresh and substantial, restaurant is non-smoking too. Also very cheerful service. Will definitely return.
