See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

Sprawling, isolated inn on the Mendip Hills, within reach by car of both Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole caves, and 1.5 miles from a campsite. The name is believed to derive from the time when the pub housed condemned criminals on their last night. A hostelry since 1684, it's popular for locally-sourced food, often including vegan and gluten-free options (phone ahead for special requirements). One guest beer features regularly from the South West and sometimes further afield, and a changing real cider is available. The child-friendly garden is busy in summer and dogs are allowed in the lower bar.
