A proper village pub in the Quantock Hills, run by the two people who pull your pint and know your dog’s name.

The kitchen
Proper pub food, cooked from scratch by people who live here
Pies with real pastry lids, game from the Quantock estates, and beef and lamb from farms you can see from the beer garden. The chalkboard changes with the seasons and whatever the local growers brought to the back door this morning — the classics never leave.
