Crawl of Bruton and Wincanton by train, and bus Saturday 26 September 2026 12:00 Sun Inn
A crawl off Bruton and Wincanton by train and bus.

Catch the 10.22 train from Bath, going via Bradford-on-Avon, Trowbridge, Westbury and Frome, arriving in Bruton at 11.12. In Bruton we can visit the Sun Inn, the Blue Ball, and if time, the Prickly Pear.

We then catch the 667 bus, at 12.23, to Wincanton , arriving at 12.36. There we can visit the town centre pubs including the Bear, Dolphin, and the Nog Inn. Of course there are other pubs in town, but the 15.45 bus, see below, is the last one back to Bruton for the train, so we need to be on it!

We then catch the 15.45 bus to Bruton and, after another pint there, possibly, we get the train back towards Bath at 16.40, arriving at 17.29.
The Horse and Groom, Westbury Thursday 1 October 2026 19:30 Horse & Groom
The Horse and Groom is a large pub on the north-eastern edge of the town centre. There are two separate bars. At the front is an attractive patio-style outside drinking area, which can be something of a sun-trap in the summer, a large garden, which runs down to the Bitham Brook, with plenty of seating, and a large car park
Masons Arms, Frome, & Cross Keys, Blatchbridge, nr Frome Thursday 8 October 2026 19:30 Masons Arms
A short crawl of two pubs on the outskirts of Frome, to the south.

The Masons Arms is a smart and comfortable pub with extensive areas for dining as well as plenty of room for those just wanting a pint. Reopened in April 2016 after a major renovation, this roadside country pub is on the old main road into Frome from the south. Three ales on.

The Cross Keys is a traditional pub with a large enclosed garden and covered patio area in the countryside, near the junction of the A361 Frome by-pass. Two ales on.
Castle Cary Crawl, starting at the White Hart Thursday 15 October 2026 19:30 White Hart
A short crawl of the two pubs in Castle Cary, starting at the White Hart , and then on to the George Hotel . The White Hart is a mix of new and old (the pub dates from 1859), the modern bar frontage of this lively pub is a contrast to the wooden ceiling beams in the front area, which has a real fire and soft seating. Behind the bar, in a separate area, there is further seating leading to an outside patio with picnic seats.

The George Hotel is a friendly, independently run, thatched 15th century hotel which is situated in the historic town centre. The main bar has an original inglenook fireplace with an elm beam said to date back to the 10th century, while the rear bar provides a contemporary alternative.
The Bath Arms Hotel, Horningsham Tuesday 20 October 2026 19:30 Bath Arms Hotel
The Bath Arms Hotel is an upmarket and historic 16 room Hotel set in beautiful countryside, next to one of the entrances to Longleat House and the Safari Park. It is part of the Marquess of Bath's estate. Usually three ales on, including two guest ales.

Most of the expansive interior is set out for dining but a relatively small and cosy public bar is retained at the left of the building with an open fire, beams and wooden floor, and the walls covered with paintings of horse hunting scenes. There is an extensive garden to the rear and a patio with seating outside the bar.

A joint social crawl of Bath city centre, visiting some old favourites, and some newer favourites, with the Portsmouth & S E Hants CAMRA Branch. We'll be starting in the Old Green Tree, at around 12 noon, and then head all the way over the road to the Welly, the new Somer Valley Brewery tap.
