The Golden Lion Inn, Tipton St John

This is not a pub, it is an expensive restaurant that looks like a pub. But would it survive as it was meant to be. Is it an asset to the village or would it be better for the locals if it was turned into housing for the amount of use they have from it. Make a nice Post Office.

Hobby Horse Inn, Minehead

I rate this pub a 1 because it is still open, though I cannot understand why anyone would go in more than once. Must once have been part of the Hotel of which it occupies one downstairs corner. The car park has a car boot sale advertised weekly(?) and this is one of the establishments that lets Minehead down and will lead to its further decline. The whole end of this town is blighted by its proximity to a local holiday camp.

White Horse Inn, Moretonhampstead

The new works at the back of this place look smashing but you have to enter through the bar which is still a bit of a slum.Used to be a warm, friendly bar 40 years ago, now, with all the walls removed its like a rural bus station. The woman behind the bar wouldn't get a job with Billy Butlin (Fun king). Such a pity. Do the front up, make some money, do upstairs up and open the hotel side again. The town is full of walkers desperate for accommodation.
