| I visited this pub for the first time on Wednesday afternoon when Taunton Bob was there. He was sitting at the bar. I sat at a table, but the pub's so small everyone can hear what everyone else says anyway. It's not the place for a romantic drink or cosy chat! I agree with Bob's comments. Paul kept everyone entertained and it was very difficult to leave - if only because you wanted to hear what he'd say next! The beer was good too. I drank Butcombe, but there were others I can't recall. I'll definitely be back troubador - 5 Nov 2011 09:58 |
| This is more than a proper pub - this is pure theatre with host Paul using his bar as a stage drawing regulars and first timers alike to play their part in the drama of the show. Nobody, even large Geordie blokes, are spared the attention and relentless mickey taking of the Landlord, all in the best possible taste! Paul's knowledge of regional beers is second to none. No food available on the day owing to a rare phenomonon, that being gravity which caused the spontaneous absence of chef - hope all is well. Great music, sporting and military memorabilia add to the mix. Should also mention the beer which was in perfect condition. Only strong will power allowed me to win the battle against empty glass chinking with pump as Paul used his masterstroke of temptation. Can't remember much about the train journey home, but I obviously got here!! Back soon. tauntonbob - 3 Nov 2011 10:00 |
| Great afternoon session on Friday. Thanks to Paul and the regulars for making us welcome and keeping us entertained. My wife says she will win at spoof next time we are in Bath. moriarty - 29 Oct 2011 18:18 |
| Had a great lunch. The Chilli's pretty good and they've had Courage Best (remember that?) Butcombe, Honeybear and something else I can't remember. Since it was lunchtime I focussed on the Courage. Nostalgic. Recommend it. Jerseyroyal - 16 Sep 2011 17:37 |
| One of the best kept secrets in Bath. Lovely, friendly clientele, you are just as likely to meet suits as bikers and the occasional lost and lonely soul! Fantastic home cooked food, and the Door-step sarnies are arguably the best value in Bath. If a good, traditional boozer is what you are looking for, you'll be hard pushed to find better than the volly PS the beer was superb !!!!!!! discobiscuit - 15 Sep 2011 18:23 |
