| First time a paid £3 a pint and not the best Butcombe I have had. Jules_B - 29 Oct 2009 09:32 |
| I stayed here Last friday and i have to say the Atmosphere was perfect ! the owner was more than welcoming and with in 5 minutes knew all are names (there were 15 of us). The beer was in good condition and the price was ok given our surrounings/service. Now we come to the Food , i had Scallops to start and can tell you they were the best i have had and ive eaten them in some of the best restaurants around! Everone had Steaks for Main and they all come out exactly as ordered . Accomadation was cosy and clean so please if your ever near the area visit this place i cant recommened it high enough Gunner1 - 18 Aug 2009 14:51 |
| Beautiful pub in a quiet little village which unfortunately is not easy to get to via public transport (at least not if you would like a night out there) but is well worth the trip if you are in the Frome area. The pub is split into two main buildings with the bar to the right and the restaurant to the left of the cosy courtyard of this 15th Century coaching inn. The bar looks very much like a converted barn with high ceilings and rafters and oozes atmosphere. The beer is served from 3 barrels kept behind the bar. When I went there, all three barrels contained Butcombe Best, but it was a very well kept pint. Beyond the courtyard is a sizeable beer garden which is raised and hidden from the road below (not that it's a busy road) and offers relaxed views of the pretty surrounding village. It also looks as if there is some expansion work going on - possibly to their already existing accommodation. The food, as mentioned is not exactly cheap, but they are listed in Egon Ronay's guides, and it shows. You certainly get what you pay for. Staff and locals are very welcoming and you are well looked after. lovejoy - 15 Jun 2008 09:24 |
| A quintessential English pub. Good beer but don't ask for food if your car fails to get you there in good time, although it was served with good grace after a dodgy start! hoppie - 20 Feb 2008 13:15 |
| Lovely old courtyarded pub. Only pub in village of Mells. Good, but overpriced. Greshon - 18 May 2007 13:16 |
