The Globe Inn, Newton St. Loe

Beer in the evening - Great! Food in the evening - also Great! But noisy children running loose - Definitely NO!! Let me know when you have an over 18 evening and I will return.

The California Country Inn, Modbury

If you want to experience what a good traditional pub is like - this place is well worth a stopover. Excellent beer, food and very friendly locals all help to make this bar and restaurant top of the pubs in this part of the country.
I was fortunate enough to arrive here on a Sunday lunchtime and feasted on a three course meal that was one of the most delicious I have sampled for many a year. The prices were not outrageous either - with wine, less than �20 per head.
Wives and daughters need to be kept under lock and key when the smooth head waiter turns up at your table.
Only compaint is the Landlord needs to smile a little more. With the old till ringing like it does, he ought to!

The Black Horse, Trowbridge

Visited this pub for the first time today and found the food very good and of excellent value. Like Tandras I too found the host a most charming Welshman who couldn�t do enough to please his customers.
Ten out of ten for the beer which was obviously well kept.
However. my enjoyment of the moment was totally ruined by a duo of very young children who took over the restaurant area with a mass of noisy electronic toys which were clearly audible above their screams. Their mobile toting mother showed little interest in controlling them.
I joined the mass exodus as customers hurriedly drank up and left.
I am frequently in this area on business but have little interest in returning if the management are unable to protect customers from this nursery style environment. Good God I suffer enough of noisy kids at home!
