The landlord of this timeless classic roadside inn has been in charge for 54 years. At a crossroads near Priddy, the highest village in Somerset, it is popular with cavers and walkers. Three rooms include one with a flagged floor and all beer is served direct from casks behind the bar. Local cider is served and the simple home-cooked food is excellent and exceptional value. A folk musicians' drop-in session is held on Tuesday evening in the back room. The garden is pleasant and secluded. Mobile phones are not welcome (no signal anyway!) but dogs are. Cash payment only - no cards.
