If you like a proper old fashioned pub you'll struggle to find better one. Flagstoned floor barrels behind the bar (beer on gravity) usually from Butcombe or local breweries the food is basic but tasty, wholesome and very reasonable. Just a thing to note, the pub's on a crossroad and might appear a bit derelict but don't let this put you off, it's a real rare gem for the true lover of proper country pubs.

This pub has to be one if my favourite pubs to visit. Tucked away on the hills of Mendip on the Wells Road , the Hunters Lodge Inn is a popular place with locals and visiting cavers. It's one if those places that is stuck in time. There isn't even a card machine and cash is king. The ales and beers available here are locally sourced but there is a limited choice. The food is super tasty and is home cooked. Did I mention how tasty the food was. Lol. In short, this pub is stuck in time and should never change. The landlord Roger is in his 80s and still runs a well oiled bar. I've not been there for over 3 yrs and he still remembered my name. I would definitely recommend a visit here for a fix of nostalgia and a yummy pint to boot. And if all that wasn't enough to tempt a visit, it's even got its own cave attached to the side of the pub and can be visited if you dare. Just ask Roger for the key. Parking: Plenty of space for at least 50 cars Price per person: £1–10 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Chilli Con Carne Parking space: Plenty of parking Parking options: Free parking lot

Limited food choices. It is a marmite pub. It is like being transported back to the 1930's. Absolutely packed when we were there. Meeting of the local cavers association. Price per person: £20–30 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Parking space: Plenty of parking
