We went for the Pie and Mash before walking our dog at Creech Wood (wonderful). It's a locals pub, and that sells it to me ✅ My only criticism is that perhaps gravy and peas should accompany the pies, which were outstandingly delicious.
Very welcoming, the staff make you feel like you're home from home. It's Very cosy in the snug and you never hear any foul language or swearing.
Lovely pub, relaxing atmosphere. Great pie for a great price. Really nice service too :) Highly recommend
The food is really a pie and mash shop or chips but the pies are lovely and homemade. Lots of character and very friendly
Lovely pub serves a great pint of Ale
Trad local pub. Friendly landlady, friendly locals, good selection of beers, good food too.. What's not to like?
Nice wee country pub, with a decent selection of drinks, including local Ales and Gins. Didn't eat any food but would say this is more of a drinking pub, seems livelier in the evenings.
Amazingly, in one week I've discovered 2 truly genuine old style British pubs. The Forest of Bere is the second one. Wonderful old world charm, superb choice of drinks...and although on this visit I only sampled the Abbott's, the menu looked both good and well priced. Staff were very friendly...has sports channels and is currently showing The Six Nations. Well worth a visit...and it's on a bus route should you have that option. I'll definitely be back again.
