We walked out there with the dogs (which are welcome and the pub even provide treats and water) and had a lovely Sunday lunch on their terrace followed by a game of table tennis in the garden. It's not just the garden and the settings that make this place so wonderful, it's the service, the food, the home made honey and everything that goes with it. The worst thing about the Wheatsheaf is having to leave. Highly recommended.

The Bell Inn, Buckland Dinham, Nr Frome (A632)…read more WARNING: Map is wrong! I've driven past this pub so many times and it looks inviting. Today we went in with to try it out. I often find that you cannot judge a pub by its exterior. We were pleasantly surprised this afternoon. I don't know who put the spaniel by the door, but it was the perfect welcome! :) Welcome at the bar, not crowded but very cosy with a lovely open fire. We were guided to a lovely table by the fire which was perfect. We had a lovely lunch too. My wild boar sausages with leek and herbs were fantastic, all meat and no filler I could detect. The mash was yummy and the gravy. The veggies were water logged but I don't hold that against them. (my meal was less than £9.) My companion ate ham, egg and chips and it looked good. The puds that arrived at the table next door looked pretty good and were appreciated. Hobgoblin on tap, Butcombe bitter amongst others. The landlords are really friendly and I look forward to coming back again sometime soon. Oh, they have a field at the back to hire for events. What is the bike doing up on the stake? Didn't ask. http://www.bellatbuckland.co.uk In the CAMRA good beer guide three years running

Certainly worth a trip to if you live in Bristol and have transport (designated driver obv, or you could cycle but only have a few drinks). In fact it is one of the nicest places I've been to in the Bristol/Bath area. So there. The pretty stone building covered in creeper sits in the centre of the tiny village of Kelston, right on the roadside. You know it'll be good, and you're not disappointed. Duck inside the door and you're faced with two bars serving several small but characterful rooms draped with hops and flagstone floors. Beers are as expected - Bath Ales and Ashton Press ciders amongst others. I didn't eat there - but the sizes of the sarnies being brought out from the kitchen sure looked spectacular - we're talking doorstopper of thick cheddar and pickle. Actually, I wish I did eat there and I'm going back.... For summery days there's a secluded back garden, where you can't even hear the main road.

The food is exceptional and they offer starters, main courses, grilled food and 3 course menus. My particular favorite is the Haloumi and pepper skewers and scampi served with mushy peas and chips.

Despite the inauspicious location on an industrial end of a street, this place is great. Completely off the beaten track from the tourist circuit, locals fill the place and on the dome evening we were there, live on the patio as walkers and cyclists pass by. Service was slow because they were understaffed but those working were doing the best they could with good attitudes. I'd .you sit on the patio, you order at the bar. Food was better than usual pub fare while still offering the requisite fish and chips. I had the falafel burger and my friend that the fish and chips. I would highly recommend for atmosphere inside and out, especially when the weather ia good.

However, I wonder if we went at the wrong time of the day, week, hour? The service was incredibly slow, but the staff were friendly. We both ordered fish and chips. Should be great, or so we thought. Perhaps we should've read the fine print to see what "fish" was in their "fish & chips!" Hint it wasn't cod or haddock. I absolutely love a good fish & chips, but unfortunately this place was such a let down. The chips were okay at best. The fish was not great. It as plain terrible. If we weren't famished, I would've not eaten it. The mushy peas were terrible- how do you mess up mushy peas?! After patiently waiting 45 minutes for our food, the let down was huge. I couldn't believe how bad we misjudged this place. Hopefully, the crew will see this & drastically improve their fish! 4 out of 10- overall. 2 out of 10- on the fish & chips. Maybe we chose the wrong thing, but come on! . My hopes were killed.

A lovely local pub in Winterbourne Down…read more This has been my family's local pub for around 20 years and it hasn't changed one bit. It's still as charming, still has the same locals, still the same landlord and, I think, still the same roaring log fire. The Cross Hands doesn't do food, but it does do lots of guest ciders, ales and a brilliant atmosphere. The landlord and landlady (Pete and Lesley) are great (Pete is the spitting image of Peter Stringfellow - with open shirt and hairy chest) and make you feel like part of the furniture - which can make leaving quite difficult at times! Friday nights are good fun. Typical local pub style. A bit of cheese on the jukebox and a good mix of young'ens and old'ens to keep it interesting from one end of the pub to the other. But the best thing about this pub isn't its huge back garden. It isn't the fact you can use one of their massive BBQ's and bring your own meat/food. It isn't even the regular events they hold in the summer with live bands and cider in boxes. The best thing about the Cross Hands is the pub dog. A beautiful Staffordshire Bull terrier who has the gentlest demeanour and wonderful personality. She'll pin her belly to the ground and wiggle her way over to say hello. All the while snorting like a little pig. She has her own arm chair and sits with the locals who play cards on the big round table from 4pm every day. This is a lovely little boozer that has a huge garden for the summer and wonderful warm log fire for the winter. As it is out of town, you can knock 40-80p off the price of pint. A must if you're in the area.
