The Inn @ West End

Gerry and Ann Price have created an establishment that out-manoeuvres many a competitor with weekly fish nights, monthly quizzes and special events linked to their expanding wine business. But this doesn't preclude anyone from simply enjoying a pint of Exmoor or Fuller's London Pride with the newspaper in the bar; on a fine evening the clematis-hung terrace overlooking the garden and boules pitch is a blissful spot. The modern interior is open plan with wooden floors, yellow walls, tasteful checks, crisp linen-clothed tables and an open fire. The kitchen team continues to make great use of the pub's fruit and vegetable garden in the creation of seasonal dishes. Organic Saddleback pork pâté with apple and walnut salad could precede a casserole of slowly cooked game with juniper, herbs and red wine. Home-made desserts such as rice pudding with caramelised apples round things off nicely.
