Blimey I discovered this place in July for first time, never even knew it existed(and i lived in nearby Yatton for 3 years!). Lovely Hall & Woodhouse owned pub with a delightful pint of Badger "Hopping Hare" quaffed,in my books this is without a doubt the best pub in Nailsea. 8/10

This is a very extensive pub with several different areas as well as a good sized patio at the front and a small, adjacent kids play area. As you go in to the main door you�re now faced with a carvery counter which I always find slightly off-putting in a pub. This used to be the main bar with the carvery counter further down towards the restaurant which seemed entirely logical, but for some reason these have now swapped places. This bar is reasonably attractive with a flagstone floor. To the left past the smaller bar counter is the restaurant area in a converted barn which is a decent enough spot with a high vaulted ceiling. To the right is a cosier, carpeted room with a large stone built fireplace at one end, the main bar counter and a TV perched on the window sill that looked a little out of place. Beyond this there is a further seating area up a few steps.

The service at the bar was unfortunately pretty much non-existent on a recent Wednesday evening. The first time I went to the bar there were two punters in front of me and nobody serving. After a couple of minutes someone tuned up, but it was some time before I got served due to an apparent problem with the whisky. The conversation went something like this �
Punter � Can I have a house double whisky please.
Barmaid � Sorry, there�s only enough left in the bottle for a single
Punter � OK, I�ll have a single then please
Barmaid � You can�t have a single, that one is priced as a double.
Punter � (shrugs in exasperation) � OK, just give me a single and I�ll pay for a double.
The next time I went to the bar there were three people waiting and nobody serving. At this point I gave up and went elsewhere.

Having said that, the barmaid was pleasant enough, and undeniably attractive. Whether she was dressed appropriately or not is another matter � a tight black dress that barely covered her arse might be OK in a trendy city centre venue, but for somewhere in the middle of a residential area that bills itself as a great family pub, it looked a little out of place. But then maybe I�m just getting old.

Beers on this occasion were Hopping Hare, Sussex Bitter, Badger and Tanglefoot. Ciders were Blackthorn and Stowford Press.

The food was found to be quite reasonable on a recent visit, although I appreciate blue_monkey100's comments about the salad. A lasagne came with a similarly miserable selection of brown around the edge lettuce leaves.

On the plus side, the portions were quite generous (although the lasagne was perhaps a little light on meat), and the beer battered cod came in two decent sized portions. Not bad I thought, for meals around the �7/�8 mark. Staff were friendly and it was very busy on a Saturday night.

Beers on this ooccasion were Hopping Hare, Badger and Tanglefoot. Good choice of ciders now on the bar with Blackthorn, Stowford Press and Thatcher's Traditional. Also an extensive range of bottled Thatcher's cider.

I visited The Old Farmhouse for lunch after reading the positive reviews on this site and good word of mouth... there were eight people in the whole pub including ourselves we both had the spinach & ricotta cannelloni for �7.95 - the menu didn't state that it came with anything so we asked at the bar if it came with a salad and the answer was yes. The meals came out 35 minutes later despite the fact that the only other food order on was a table of four!! Not only this but the 'salad' that we were told came with the cannelloni turned out to be three leaves of lettuce & three croutons!! We would have happily paid an extra �2.00 for a salad if necessary but we were disappointed with the sorry excuse of a 'meal' we received for �8.00! Not overally impressed!
