This is another pub that's affiliated with the Bristol Beer Factory, having ales like No. 7,…read moreSunrise and Red on tap. I first came here just yesterday, and completely loved it the minute I walked in. The bar staff had heavy thick moustaches, which I later read that was for a moustache competition.. I was sold. Any pub that welcomes kooky, fun on-goings, has my vote.
The atmosphere here is great, and it is the sort of pub for the locals around that area, which always provides a pub so much more character, mostly due to the colourful natures of the people that come in. It is quite big, and has a little hidden-ish room on the left of the bar, and on the right, down some steps, is another room with a fair few couches and tables, and also an outside covered patio area!
Food here is around £5 - £8 pounds, which upon initial viewing is a tad steep. However we were hungry, so we went on an ordered some anyway. You get cute porcelain animals as a table marker after you order - bonus points from me here. My mussels in a white wine and cream sauce with a basket of bread was really good, and for the £6.95 I paid for it, fully worth it.
The winning discovery of the night however, is Tom's pies, made in Dartmoor. If you have read my Pieminister review, you will know how big a fan I am of them.. but Tom's pies blows Pieminister out the water! The lamb moussaka was absolutely divine. The flavours inside really made you go 'aaaah'.
I will most certainly be coming back here again, and although it is not exactly very close to where I live, it is definitely worth the trip.
