Old Green Tree

Raven

Salamander

Coeur de Lion

A short crawl of Rode in Somerset, starting at the Mill, and the on to the Cross Keys.

The Mill is on the river Frome. Set in a lovely position, just on the outskirts of the village, there is plenty of seating in the garden, including a raised terrace over the mill race. Plenty of parking. Leased and operated by Butcombe and usually featuring their beers

The Cross Keys was originally the brewery tap for the long-closed Fussell's brewery, and, more latterly, a Bass depot. Sympathetically restored, it has succeeded in bringing back a strong village trade. A passageway, featuring a deep well, links the two bars. There is also a large restaurant.

At least two Butcombe beers on, plus a traditional style cider. Look out for the fascinating clock mechanism in the restaurant..

A social at the Locksbrook Inn in Weston, Bath. Previously the Dolphin, it's an old village pub now surrounded by light industrial estates and housing. It has a large patio garden next to the River Avon Weston Canal Cut and the Bath - Bristol Cycle Path. Three ales on normally.

The Ring O'Bells is an unspoilt old stone pub with beams and flagstone floors and a 'snug' to the right of the bar with an open fire and some bench seating. The pub is in the centre of the village, immediately next door to the village hall and overlooking the green and is an ideal destination for country walks.

A short crawl of two pubs near Radstock, the George at Gurney Slade, and the Horse and Jockey at nearby Binegar.

The Georgeis a large traditional family run Victorian pub offering up to three ales and lunch and evening meals. A pool room is to left of the bar and small restaurant area is at the rear. Small enclosed garden at rear.

The Horse and Jockey is an old traditional multi roomed local pub hidden away in country lanes. The split level bar with flagstones and exposed stone walls leads onto separate rooms.

A couple of our Bath pubs on the Lower Bristol Road, just a few minutes walk apart.

The Hop Pole was previously a tenanted Bath Ales pub but lease taken on by Abbey Ales in Spring 2024. adding to the three Abbey already operate in Bath. Usually two Abbey Ales beers, one St Austell/Bath Ales and a traditional style cider. Re-opened May 2024 after a refurbishment, new landlord from Nov 2024. It's half-mile west of the city centre, opposite Royal Victoria Park and by the river Avon.

The Victoria is a very pleasant gastro pub, with at least tow ales normally on.
