| four ales on , included station porter. Beer good quality. Smallish Bar, quite dark inside . worth a visit ,7+ for me . beatles38 - 19 Feb 2012 16:09 |
| An outstanding pub now it has reopened with young enthusiastic licensee and staff. Top staff and excellent dark beer, it seems to be a policy to have at least one of (Cheddar's Totty on our visit). Beats some of the better pubs in Bristol. CAMRA members welcomed and discounts offered accordingly (no additional discounts for beards though). WIll be back. PhilR - 28 Jan 2012 20:13 |

| Closed, sold and refurbished since my previous review, this is now a completely different pub both in looks and character. It’s still a smallish, single room affair, but the bar counter has been moved from the back to the left hand side and it’s been extensively decorated. The paintwork is a mixture of dark grey on the lower part of the walls, and a light coffee colour up above. Other than that, the walls are mostly bare at present but that may change over time as it has only been re-open for about a week. The floors and reclaimed sanded boards and there is a courtyard garden out the back. Unusually the cubicle door in the gents loo had a frosted pane of glass in it. There were a couple of boards with a basic food offering chalked up, and this is apparently served until 10:00 at night. There was a selection of Panini’s and sandwiches, plus a few specials such as Burgers and Bangers & Mash at around the £6 mark. Barman seemed friendly enough. Wickwar beers dominated the bar with their Autumn Ale, Cotswold Way and BOB although this is not a Wickwar pub. In addition to this there was Potholer from Cheddar. The solitary cider was Magners Golden Draught. Blackthorn - 29 Sep 2011 10:34 |
| Due to re-open 19/9/2011 according to their Facebook and Twitter pages. It has undergone a great deal of refurbishment following the demise of the previous owner and deserves a chance in the unsteady world of the pub trade nowadays? The nearby Phoenix opened earlier in 2011 and has improved a great deal. The 'Little Volley' deserves a chance! TalbotHill - 18 Sep 2011 22:44 |
