A quiet country village pub, serving both good beer and good food. Accomodation is also available and a warm welcome from Ian & Anne Barrett, the owners, will help make your experience here a happy one. Freehouse.

3/4 Mile north of A35 between Bridport and Winterbourne Abbas, the Crown is run by John James, who makes the convivial atmosphere even better with some excellent ales and good food, although early booking for this is advised. Freehouse, with Palmers of Bridport a major supplier.

 

Somerset

Bath Bath & North East Somerset
Fourum & Firkin

Opposite the Theatre Royal in Bath. Much like the Font and Firkin in Brighton, although beware - they charge admission on some evenings, and it can be quite studenty!

 

Buckland Dinham, Nr Frome Somerset
Bell Inn
Click here for the map.
10 miles south of Bath, on the A362 between Frome & Radstock. A wonderful choice of the best food for miles around, served in the restaurant or bar, with an excellent choice of real ales and the wine list which is only eclipsed by list of single malt whisky's!! Another pub which has just changed hands - but it is still as good.

 

Cheddar Somerset
The White Hart

Despite being in a tourist area, this is a fairly tranquil pub, located behind Fortes Ice Cream Parlour at the bottom end of the gorge. Serving Ushers beers, they also do a lunchtime menu until 2pm, and the natives are extremely friendly.

 

Norton St. Philip Somerset
The George
Click here for the map.
Only 8 miles from Bath this one, just off the A36 (1 mile west). Some good beers, and Venison is the specialty of the house. The George has undergone a major refurbishment. The bar area is actually two or three separate rooms, and there is a games room with Darts and Pool. The pub's character is not as good as it was, although it was very quiet the night we visited and that does not help. Also, the menu is not as extensive as it used to be, but I'll give it a few months and then try again.
