Difficult not to be biased as I have known the Landlord (Pete) for a long time, but am not a regular as I live so distance away. However, I have always received a warm welcome from the staff, the beer is good (in the GBG regularly) and Pete is a big music fan and has a lot of bands performing here including 'names'. Personally I would like to see Pete running a few other pubs I could name...

Not a regular, perhaps 5 or 6 times a year, here but always assured of a good welcome and a decent pint (or two) of Broadside (£3.25) - in spite of the sign outside which reads 'Cold Food, Warm Beer, Grumpy Landlord' No sign of aforementioned barmaid.

Went here on Saturday before the match (although it's not within easy walking distance of the ground - see below). There's a sign outside which reads (something like) 'good food, good beer, grumpy landlord'. Well he wasn't. He was very friendly and made us feel more than welcome.
I thought that the beer was good but not brilliant and it was expensive at £3:10 for a pint of Tribute. It was the only pub in Yeovil that we went in so I don't know how it compares to the others on price.
The food was OK. The lunchtime menu has various main meals for a fiver. The portions weren't over generous but you got veg and potatoes, which made a nice change from the ubiquitous portion of chips. What food there was, was very nice and like I said it was only a fiver, so can't really complain about the portion size.
One thing I did find a bit strange. The landlord asked how we intended to get from the pub to the match. We told him taxi and he advised setting off at 13:30 if we didn't want to be get there too close to kick-off as the traffic, he said, was horrendous on matchdays. I'd already booked the cab for 14:15 and we decided to stick with that. It turned up on time and dropped us right outside the away end turnstiles before 14:30. Landlords idea of a joke?

Haven't been in this pub for around 22 years!! When i read about the 'good looking' barmaid I thought I'd check it out.....just my luckm the barmaid was a barman (on this occasion anyway). So I thought, as I'm here, I'd best try the beer. The Tribute was very good but the Traditional Butcombe was superb. I'll visit again to try an get a glimpse of the barmaid!!! Not keen on the actual pub (but then, I never have been) but it is clean, well presented and the ale is served in great condition.
