The good pub guide review
There are remarkable views over Blackmore Vale from the picnic-sets in front of this part-thatched old pub, with woods to walk in and the Wiltshire Cycleway passing close by. Inside, three linked areas on different levels are arranged around the central horseshoe-shaped server, with plentiful oak woodwork and flagstones, comfortably padded dining chairs around big scrubbed tables, a couple of leather sofas and two woodburners; the furnishings are all very individual and uncluttered. There's also a small, pale-painted conservatory restaurant. Butcombe Bitter, Hop Back Summer Lightning, Plain Sheep Dip and Triple fff Moondance on handpump, a dozen wines by the glass and Thatcher's farm cider; board games and skittle alley.
The good pub guide food review
As well as lunchtime ploughman's (not Sunday), the appealing food includes deep-fried rosemary and garlic brie wedges with cranberry sauce, Japanese-style battered king prawns with sweet chilli sauce, beef and red wine casserole with mash, duck breast with port and redcurrant sauce, various pizzas, barbecue pork belly with rösti potatoes, slow-braised pork belly with cider and apple sauce, a catch of the day (available in large and small portions - the large is huge) with chips, and puddings such as lemon posset and warm pear and almond tart with vanilla ice-cream.
