| Went back for a second visit, and found it once again to a high standard.. The Gammon, Egg & Chips was great, and Pints of Cheddar Ales Potholer & Palmers IPA in top condition.. All in all, very impressed. A really welcoming & solid pub option for Beers, and for Food.. A perfect place to launch a session from, in fact... clevedonquaffer - 28 Jul 2011 15:11 |
| In someways its a pity that this is well known as a food pub , as this pub sells great beer. There is always always a large and varied choice of Ales. Ale quality exceptional? yes I think so. By the way the food was pretty good as well. Cliftonclive - 22 Apr 2011 15:43 |
| A popular pub usefully located midway between Clifton and Hotwells. It’s a single room, L-shaped pub with the bar counter immediately in front of you as you enter. The floor is stripped back to the boards and the rest of the décor is in a similar vein with chunky wooden tables and wood backed bench seating around the perimeter. Theirs is a pleasant terraced garden out the back which is unusual in this area, and not at all obvious, either from the outside, or indeed inside. This is quite a good size with plenty of tables and benches, although it’s quite shaded so doesn’t get too much in the way of sun. There’s a decent looking pub grub menu and a few specials chalked up on a board as well. We’ve eaten here previously and the food was ok as far as I recall. This time we ordered the “major” chilli beef burger which at £6.95 seemed good value, turning up with two massive beef patties sandwiched in a bun. It had a home made look about it, and you could clearly see the pieces of chilli mixed in with it, so we had high expectations. Unfortunately there was far more gristle than meat, several indigestible pieces in every single mouthful. We struggled through about half of it and then gave up. To be fair though, burgers seemed the most popular dish on the menu and most plates were going back empty. Either we were unlucky, or nobody else minded, I’m not sure. There was a good range of beers on tap with Butcombe Gold, Exmoor Gold, Otter Ale, Cotleigh Tawny Owl, Wickwar Premium Spring Ale and Palmers Dorset Gold. The solitary cider was Ashton Press. In spite of my experience with the food, I still like this pub and will mark it accordingly. I’ll just make sure I don’t have the burgers next time. Blackthorn - 11 Apr 2011 10:45 |
| Had a really impressive Sunday Roast here recently...as the fellow reviewer says, the Roasts are available throughout the afternoon, which is handy... Also, the pint of Exmoor Gold that i had was first class... Service was polite and enthusiastic, and the pub itself very pleasant...can recommend.... clevedonquaffer - 24 Feb 2011 11:40 |
| Beer is varied and well kept (especially TT Landlord) and although you might pay a few pence more for a pint here, if food is on the agenda then this place is definately worth a look. Huge portions of quality food, pub grub the way it should be. A lovely little back garden up a few steps with lots of little benches amongst the greenery, well worth a visit. P.S. Try the home made chilli burger, fantastic! stuartmeale - 4 Nov 2010 14:15 |
