A former part of the Butcombe managed estate but tenanted to the existing landlord with a beer tie, this creeper-clad inn which has been a pub since 1851, has four rooms that feature low ceilings, flagged floors and two log fires. A wonderfully warm and relaxing haven on cold winter nights, it is popular during the Priddy Folk Festival in July. Reasonably priced, high quality home-cooked food is a speciality. Lovely beer garden with picnic tables. Children and dogs are allowed and there is a play area by the car park. Four bag-in-the-box ciders are served, including Thatcher's Big Apple and Weston's Rosie Pig.
