| Forgot to put this in previous post; pint of 3.9% beer was £3.25. If you go up the Annexe, there's no ale over £2.80. At the moment anyway. mousefan - 5 Apr 2011 20:51 |
| Eight beers on when I last visited but seven were from the same brewery, ie Cottage. Nothing wrong with Cottage beers, far from it, but a little more variety would be welcome. This used to be a sad old man's pub but then went down the gastro route. Have eaten here a couple of times; yes it's pricey for a pub but good quality. The front of the pub is still set out for just having a drink so it's not just an eating establishment. mousefan - 5 Apr 2011 20:47 |
| I used to love this pub, but its beer range has seemed to have gone backwards. When living in Bristol, always had a good range of beer on its 8 handpumps, with a good and interesting range of styles and flavors trom micro breweies to entice you with. Went in on Monday, only four ales on, one which turned to be the end of the barrell, and two was the cringeworth Green King IPa (crap beer) and Doombar (common a s muck and not exciting). This pub can do so much better, but this visit only a 2 score from me. gife - 29 Dec 2010 16:00 |
| Slight return to form with ales from Jennings and (I think) Exe Valley alongside usual suspects such as Doom Bar. Service much better and ale in top notch condition. Dandillus - 12 Oct 2009 18:26 |
