12:45 Good interior with built in seating and an eclectic mix of old tables. The intricate mantelpiece in the rear room is noteworthy. Lovely secluded garden. I had lunch here, three tapas for a tenner. Excellent. The pub dog watched me eat, but nothing went his way. I have a heart of stone.

Quite busy with diners and locals on a Saturday lunchtime.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hop Union (formerly Great Western (GWB)) - Meerkat Mild | 3.90 | | Ruby coloured mild with a sweet, malty character with some fruitiness. Low hop rate and a dryish finish. My score 16/20. |

Went up to the bar and as we were about to order a chap next to us told us the Butcombe was superb. We ended up chatting to him for about an hour. Turns out he was a major contributor to BITE - an_ecunemical_matter. After he'd headed off to the Bag O' we got some dinner. Umm, eating sandwiches with a knife and fork because it was safer than try and lift it up! Rock n Roll.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cheddar - Potholer | 4.30 | | Umm, well not as good as all those years ago in Bath. Still got an orange bite to it but no great shakes. |
| Bristol Beer Factory - Sunrise | 4.40 | | Intense farm yard bitterness. Rush of gruff bitterness. |
| Belhaven - Caledonian Deuchars IPA | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Shepherd Neame - Spitfire (or Spitfire Amber Ale) | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Butcombe - Brunel Atlantic IPA | 5.00 | Not Tried | Had a sip. Clean tasting IPA of the light English variety. |
