| A tiny, back street boozer located just off the main shopping area of Bedminster Parade. It’s a small single room pub, with barely enough room to swing the proverbial cat. It’s a bit rough and ready, and probably hasn’t changed in decades. In fact there’s still a very ancient looking one armed bandit machine in one corner, although unfortunately this didn’t seem to be working. There’s three or four tables and some rather threadbare bench seating around the perimeter. A digital jukebox and a LCD TV are the only concessions to modernity. There’s a few photo’s dotted around the wall and the pub certainly had a few “characters” in who’d probably had one pint too many of the Cheddar Valley, but they all seemed friendly enough. It was quite quiet on a recent Tuesday evening, in fact when we left at about 8:30 there was nobody left in the pub although there were a few punters in the outside courtyard (or should that be the dilapidated garage?). Food’s probably not a big thing here, but there were a few pub classics such as Spag Bol, Chilli, Lasagne, Curry, etc. chalked up on a board next to the bar, and these were all priced at around the £1.50 mark which seems exceptionally reasonable. No beers on tap unless you count John Smith’s Extra Smooth. Good choice of ciders though, with Blackthorn, Natch, Taunton Traditional and Cheddar Valley. Drink prices seemed very reasonable, with the CV being just £2 a pint. Blackthorn - 27 Oct 2010 09:55 |
| Unique one bar traditional pub selling mainly rough cider. Lots of characters. Customers oftem go from here to the Barley Mow, another unique pub, on the corner. Recommended. schaf - 23 Jun 2010 15:37 |
| Good Taunton Traditional cider. Worrying that highly visible racist grafitti was still on toilet walls two days after appearing. jgurney1 - 20 Feb 2009 13:11 |

| Armour not compulsory-just recommended. Taunton rough scrumpy on handpull,though seems to come from a keg. Potential is great if it got out of its "Bristolian" timewarp!!! an_ecunemical_matter - 26 Oct 2006 12:57 |
