Guided by the new management I am sure that this is now a very good pub for dogs.
Not good for drinkers and eaters I fear.

Very popular with local gents with dogs (lots; have they told their wives that they are taking the dog out for a long walk?).
The juke box can make conversation difficult (don't understand how that goes with the 'dog-walkers'?); so not a quiet country pub.
Basic pub grub at reasonable prices. Good and well kept beers.
Good if you appreciate old-fashioned boozer pubs. People who are not keen on too many dogs or juke boxes might prefer the George in the centre of Mere.

This still has much of the feel of a village pub and it sells good cask ale well kept. It also has the rare merit of not being Hall & Woodhouse.
Well worth looking in if you are passing (as long as the Juke Box is not being played).

This was one of my favourite local haunts back in the 70s and 80s and it sounds like its gone from strength to strength. Will certainly be looking in next time i'm in that neck of the woods

Highly recommended. Stopped here with wife and kids travelling back from Devon.

The food surpassed all expectations. Fresh, delicious food, beautifully presented, great value. Burgers were freshly home-made in organic homemade bread rolls. Fish and chips was some of the best I've had - skate in beer batter with jenga chips, home-mushed peas and homemade tartar sauce - excellent.

Lady behind the bar made us really welcome and the place felt like a real pub - locals seemed a pleasant bunch.

Couple of real ales included Harveys. We all ate well with drinks for a bill of about £30 - would have cost a load more elsewhere. Wish we could have stayed on for the night!
