| I was at the beer festival too and agree that the Tawny Owl was flat. However, the other beers I tried were fine. Milk St Funky Monkey seemed to be the locals' favourite and it's returned as a guest ale. mousefan - 30 Aug 2011 12:30 |
| Attended the POT's first beer festival last night, and although great that they have put this thing on, sad to say that some of the ales were not served in great nick (how this is possible during a beer festival when the ales are bought in specifically, perhaps someone could let me know!). The Tawny Owl was totally flat as was the Proper Job . The former was taken back where is was commented by the staff that perhaps 'it wasn't poured correctly by the bar women' Oh dear. And they carried on serving this one - the chaps to our left were commenting on the poor quality. Also, at least two of the beers were served cloudy - Lighthouse, and the Arbor Ales. The BB Factory Acer was fantastic, So cheers to the POT for the festival, but please try to up the quality next time Dandillus - 20 Aug 2011 08:58 |
| A curiously named and good sized pub on three levels. The main bar is the largest, with smaller rooms at each end, one slightly higher and one slightly lower. It’s got a decent cosy pub ambience to it in spite of it’s size, with carpeting throughout, chunky wood beams on the ceiling and a real looking fire (I think it was gas, but it was better than some!). It’s known locally as the “POT at WOT” and appropriately there is plenty of Post Office paraphernalia around, such as a genuine full size old red telephone kiosk in the corner that has now been put in to use as a coat cupboard! There is also an old post box inset in to the wall and a very old fashioned telephone mounted on the wall behind the bar. All a bit quirky, but it certainly adds to the atmosphere. Interior décor is completed with plenty of mirrors and pictures, some again Post Office related such as drawings of old pillar boxes along with some black and white photo’s of the local area in bygone times. I didn’t check the full menu, but noticed a couple of chalkboards up detailing a selection of baguettes and pizzas. The latter are, I believe, a speciality. There is also a small outside patio area at the back with a warming heater. There was a plasma on in the main bar, but the volume was down fairly low and it didn’t seem to intrusive. Staff all seemed friendly. The regular beers on tap appeared to be Bass, Courage Best, Doom Bar and Otter Bitter. The guest on this occasion was Caledonian Over The Bar. The solitary cider was Stowford Press. All in all this seems to be a great, friendly local pub and well worth a visit if you’re in the area. Blackthorn - 11 Feb 2011 23:41 |
| Comfortable pub spilt into two areas, a quiet lounge and livelier bar. Ale-wise you get Courage Best, Bass, Otter Bitter and Doom Bar plus one guest.. Was recently served a less than great pint of Otter and was mentioning to my partner that it wasn't THAT great when the barman (LL?), when overhearing, asked if I wanted it changed, saying that it was due to being near the end of the barrel. The next one served up was tip top condition. The same chap seems to have a photographic memory when remembering who is next in line to be served AND remembers what you had been drinking when you return...and this in a pretty packed pub on a Sat night. I hand you... my nomination for best barman in Bristol 2010. Dandillus - 7 Nov 2010 16:16 |
| Been in here every two months or so in the last year and still worth a visit. Beer reasonably priced too. TalbotHill - 15 Mar 2010 21:37 |
