| The Top Ship might have been voted 2025 Pub of the Year by the Somerset Branch of CAMRA but my award of "the best pint in Porlock" went to the pint of Tribute I had in the Castle (not listed on this site). In the more upmarket Ship I had a good pint of On the Level Pale which cost £4.90 and an Otter Amber. Other handpulls were Tribute, Proper Job, Salcombe Island Street and Otter Bitter. They're really on it when it comes to service including the ability to order beer from your table (although I imagine they were hoping to upsell us some food). paul_d102 - 7 Apr 2026 12:54 |
| Nice old thatched pub, cosy interior and a nice sunny garden. All the beers were just fine, and a good choice too. It's just of the bottom of the notorious Porlock Hill, so you can sit in the garden and breath in the fumes from over heated brakes and burnt out clutches. Accommodation is available for those who want to stay, and menu look pretty good. cellarbuoy - 29 May 2017 17:08 |
| Stunning multi roomed C13th thatched pub. Food is simple but well done and keenly priced. Lovely little bar area for the drinkers. Five real ales on - Tribute, Otter Amber and Dark, Exmoor Ales and Beast. The beast made me laugh - 6.6% and if you order it, they disappear into the cellar for collection. Presumably its no allowed out with the others. Throw in the wonderful log burners and you have my definition of a great pub. Visit blogged at http://bit.ly/2mKRVi7 Mappiman - 21 Mar 2017 10:35 |
| Popped in earlier this week for a drink, good range of ales, lovely wood burner going and friendly locals. The landlady seemed really nice and there was a good atmosphere, top marks from me ! wobblymoth - 11 Jan 2013 12:47 |
| We went in a couple of times over the weekend and enjoyed our visits. About 6 good ales on offer including Proper Job, Exmoor's Ale & Beast and Wills Neck. The pub was busy both nights but our food was served quickly enough although the English veal was too overcooked which was disappointing. A better pub than the Royal Oak. paul_d102 - 23 Jul 2012 21:21 |
