| While searching for the nearby Hunters Lodge, I stumbled across this little gem, which although very different from the aforementioned competitor, is a distinctly different experience, and both have merit for different reasons. Unlike the Lodge which is pared-down, no-nonsense rusticity, the QVI specialises in a more typical, but indulgent rural pub experience. If you are an appreciator of classic country pubs that are warm, welcoming, serving substantial meals, and are full of beams, assorted horse-brasses, breweriana etc then this is for you. On a chilly Autumn day with the log fire roaring (pictured above - I was lucky enough to get a seat right next to it), it is like being given a big comforting hug! Even before entering the smell of the wood burning is immediately evocative of cosy evenings in in friendly surroudings. Both landlord and punters were very friendly and didn't mind being asked the way to the Hunters. Enjoyed a quick half of the Butcombe Bitter and it was on form. I can't comment on whether this place has lost some magic since their takeover, but it seemed to be making a pretty good fist of things to me. Recommended. TWG - 9 Oct 2008 15:49 |
| This was one of my favourite pubs a while back. I don't come quite so much any more, but still manage about once a month. I agree that it isn't quite as good since it has been taken over, but it is still a very good place to stop for a pint. Mind you, when I am here I only drink the Thatchers Cheddar Valley cider now and haven't tried the Butcombe choices. HenPen - 17 Aug 2008 21:35 |
| cold wet day, was welcomed by a smile and two log fires. once we made our way through the crowd of locals at the bar, the service was friendly and quick. food was excellent; home cooked and cheap. the burgers are among the best you will find! outandabout1954 - 28 Oct 2007 21:51 |
| The pub was aquired by Butcombe brewery back in July and unfortunately has lost some of it's charm since. Small changes serve to give a more commercial feel and some of the local atmosphere has dissapeared. I hope they stop short of turning this gem into yet another generic "food" pub, with little room for drinkers and locals. ciderdrinker1 - 20 Nov 2006 16:12 |
| Some recent minor enhancements have only served to improve this wonderful pub whilst maintaining its charactor. Home-cooked food is superb quality & value, and the ales are well kept. Dogs are allowed which I dont agree with in a pub. 6x_in_the_daytimes - 7 Nov 2006 17:40 |
