| Gorgeous old traditional country village pub with excellent ales from a tap room no less! A bit like drinking in your gran's front parlour, but what character this pub has - a real gem! BobOs - 24 Aug 2008 11:48 |

| First ever visit from the John Bonser roadshow last Monday ( 21st ) on the way to Taunton. Its an old fashioned largely unspoilt roadhouse of great character on the A372 about 15 or so miles east Of Taunton. There's no bar, just several handpumps in a flag stoned tap room. I enjoyed a good pint of Mighty Tor bitter from the nearby Glastonbury Brewery, which, given that I was driving, was the lowest gravity beer. Being a Monday lunchtime, the pub was very empty, but I received a very warm welcome indeed from the landlady's son and grandson and the one or two locals present. Sadly, I was told that Eileen, the landlady, aged 85, had passed away a week or so ago. Several of the fields close by the pub are owned by the family and it is clear that this is a real centre-of-the-community pub. Note the specially designed framed Ordnance Survey map on the wall showing Eli's ( as the pub is known ) as the centre of the world, not just the village ! Mr Brahmsandliszt - posting of 21/05/07 - is spot on with his short but succinct review. Do pop in if passing by, I think you'll enjoy the experience. JohnBonser - 25 Apr 2008 17:26 |
| interesting place certainly, but the beers aren't up with the best in the area for sure... quaint locals usually manage to maintain a friendly demeanour with strangers. alehouses - 17 Mar 2008 14:32 |
| Recently launched to fame as a result of Ian Marchant's book The Longest Crawl, this is one of those pubs you just have to visit. The beer and food are excellent, but what really makes this place stand out is it's unique character. One of the few pubs in the country without a bar, you order your drinks in a tap-room which has numerous rooms and crevices radiating from it, the whole being furnished and decorated in an eclectic, antique style. The landlord couldn't have been more charming or helpful, and the regulars were equally as friendly. I can't think of anywhere else in the world I would rather spend a couple of hours. nwingfield - 5 Nov 2007 18:05 |
