The George, Norton St Philip and Tucker's Grave, Faulkland

Tuesday 13 January 2026 19:30

An historic grade I listed building dating from at least 1327, the George has a good claim to being the oldest purpose built Inn in the country. The beamed bar features a distinctive fireplace. There are several other rooms used for drinking and dining, including a large dining room at the rear and a Dungeon bar, both accessed from the attractive cobbled courtyard.

Then down the road to a gem from a bygone age, Tucker's has a nationally important historic pub interior, it was built in the mid-17th century as a farmhouse, became an inn in 1827, and has changed little since (apart from proper loos). There is no bar in the original inn and the beer and several ciders are served from an alcove.
