    • Coeur de Lion 17 Northumberland Place Bath BA1 5AR Telephone(01225) 463568

      The Coeur de Lion, situated in a narrow street in the centre of the city, is reputedly Bath's smallest pub. The building is believed to date from 1749 and was originally known as Marchants Court. In around 1860 a public house known as the Avondown Stores (presumably because the beer came from the long closed Avondown brewery at Batheaston) was established at 4 Northumberland Place and in around 1880 the name of the pub was changed to the Coeur de Lion. Nobody knows the reason for the change but the name is thought to be unique to the UK. In 1886 the pub moved to its present premises at 17 Northumberland Place. Many years later the Devenish brewery acquired the Coeur. In 1990 Devenish attempted to close the pub but it was saved when Bath City council rejected planning permission to turn the pub into a shop following a major local campaign supported by the then Bath MP Chris Patten. More recently the pub has been leased from Punch by the local Abbey Ales brewery. One of the most striking features of the pub is its stained glass window featuring (ironically given the brewery's attempts to close the pub and its own eventual demise) the Devenish brewery name and crest. Abbey Ales brewery shop has opened just next door (Sep 21) selling Abbey ales and related merchandise, local gin and bottled beers from nearby breweries.

Built in the 1860s, partly as a farm, and partly as a hotel to serve the nearby Mid-Somerset GWR branch railway station, it was part of the Duke of Somerset's estate. Sadly, in the 1960's, Mr Beeching closed the station, and the hotel became a quiet country pub. The farm was sold in the 1980s. The one locally sourced beer and the cider is served from a glass panelled hatch in the central hallway. There may be a guest beer in the summer months. There are two simple but comfortable rooms, one either side, for sitting and drinking. The one to the left has table skittles, and Bar Billiards in the right hand one. Outside, to the right, there is a good sized garden.
