See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.
Traditional thatched pub at the top of the town and is the oldest pub in Wincanton and consists of two rooms and a rear patio area. The left-hand room with an inglenook fireplace was originally a shop and was subsequently added to the pub. Wood panelling in the right-hand bar apparently came from the George Inn and was installed when that pub closed. It is a generally unchanged interior with what appears to be some original wooden fittings and benches around the walls which display many pictures and memorabilia. Reputed to be haunted by Emily, a 7-year-old girl unfortunately run over by a horse and cart outside the pub in the 1700s… The pub sign pays homage to novelist Sir Terry Pratchett who frequented the pub when visiting the (now closed) Discworld Emporium in the town. Occasional live music and/or karaoke.
