Went today, the day of the annual sheep fair. The pub was full as to be expected and they were only serving with plastic glasses (yuk)
Anyway as a cider head i saw my favorite Thatchers Cheddar Valley and asked for a pint (£2.50) The cider from the barrel looked ok but was completely watery not like i get from Tuckers or the Fox and Badger. My mate hugh had one as well from a new!!! barrel and it was the same. I don't think Thatchers would water down their own cider and nor would Butcombe, so i suspect the Landlord after a quick buck from the unsuspecting visitors. Anyway we went straight off to the Hunters lodge for a fantastic pint of Wilkins cider.
Gave it 2 for location , but never go on the sheep fair, you have been warned.

The couple who had run it for a while and made a better job than anyone for a while have fallen out with Butcombe and gone.

I am reminded of Oscar Wilde, to lose one landlord quickly is unfortunate, to lose several seems like carelessness. Butcombe really must get a grip here, it is a good pub that could be great.

Still not as clean as it should be.

Rumours that an experienced Burcombe landlord-"Mark" who used to run the Swan at Roberrow is to take over in a week or so. Let us hope he really cleans it up and gives some consistency.

Under temporrary management last three weeks beer has been ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.

It's now a free house (or at least so the sign says). Yes, the upholstery is improved and yes, the beer is good and well-kept. Didn't try the food this time, though. Still streets ahead of the New Inn. I'll stick by my previous 7/10.

What a change! New couple imported by Butcombe Brewery to manage have got a grip on cleanliness, even the seat cushions! Why has this taken so long?

Beer consistently excellent now. Butcome Bitter is £2-80, (standard it seems across the estate). Always a nice fire burning.

At last a decent second beer on instead of the rubbish, Fullers London Pride.. This is popular in other Butcombe pubs. If we are going to have a guest beer can it please be one like this that people will want to drink? Are you listening Butcombe?

Food not tested yet but a passing steak looked excellent

This is a Butcombe Brewery owned pub with a character interior and (naturally) good beer. The interior is truly filthy, frankly a disgrace to Butcombe and they need to do something about it. Check out those removable (but absolutely filthy) seat cushions, the dirty windows. This is not character, this is wilful mismanagement and neglect. The beer is good! The open fires and interior COULD be great. A real tragedy. I have never been brave enough to eat here.
