BUTCOMBE Gold (H)
OTTER Otter Ale (H)
ST AUSTELL Tribute (H)
Cosy, 17th century village pub with
restaurant area, furnished in
traditional, country style. Part of
Blenheim Inns, a privately-owned company
with five outlets which successfully
breathes life into tired pubs. The pub
has fish nights on Wednesday, and runs
quiz and darts teams. Quoits is played.
Heated foot rest at bar. Several ghosts
reported. Note the interesting carved
pub sign, it is said to be one of the
most photographed in the country; it is
thought butchering went on here when
Henry VIII hunted deer in the valley.
Staggering views from the tables on the
steep grass behind the pub. It is worth
a walk to the bizarre sloping village
cricket ground. The batsman cannot see
the bowler running in until he is almost
at the wicket.
