The Hammer and Pincers  

An old style country pub with at least four rooms, some inaccessible for the disabled. All have pine furniture tables and chairs which makes it a 'bright' pub.

There is a selection of six real ales, though only the guests are worth the wait/drive (Theakston's XB, Theakston's Best Bitter,BASS, John Smith's, Tetley, Ruddles County, Marstons Pedigree), the guests on this occassion were Bateman's Jollys and Exmoor Gold.

Food is home-cooked served lunch 12-2pm and evening 6-9.30pm. A traditional Sunday lunch is served 12-2pm. Occasional specials include free wine or starters & sweets - not weekends though. The food includes home made soups; Fisherman's Pot (fish, prawn, & mussels in a cheese sauce); Poacher's Fayre (venison, tomato & mushrooms in a rich port sauce); Pincer Pot (turkey, mushroom, pepper & onion in a white wine sauce); Mushroom Goulash (with Onion, Celery, Pepper & Walnut), Vegetable Curry and daily vegetarian specials.

There is also an outside beer/eating area for when the sun shines.

No accommodation here.
