All the inns that the Fat Badgers recommend are worth a visit for one reason or
another. However some establishments are awarded with a symbol to indicate that they have
achieved a quality over and above average. Moving your mouse over icons gives further
information. An inn which is highly recommended not only receives a 'spinning star', it's
name bar turns to a burgundy colour.
Many inns allow children to
accompany their parents. Usually this is in an eating environment, however some inns
provide a seperate room for kids and even playground equipment outside. We list those that
are children friendly, although the amount of 'friendliness' can vary so if you need
something specific - it's always best to ring the inn and ask.
Dogs are often allowed
into pubs but they are always expected to be quiet and well behaved animals. Some inns
serving food may still allow dogs in but they would normally not be allowed into an eating
area itself.

14th Century inn located in a
rural setting but just 2 miles from Junction 19 of the M5. Well frequented by locals the
Black Horse was formerly a jail and is the epitome of an old English Inn. Old guns hanging
from the ceiling, flagstone floors, settles and superb traditional ales served straight
from the barrel and they serve good food as well. - Perfect !

If you're looking for an armchair and a
thatched roof then avoid the Blue Flame. It's very basic and could really do with a lick
of paint here and there, but if you want the perfect pint, served straight from the
barrel, then this is the place for you. Expect to find some hops in the bottom of your
glass and for the local farmers to invite you to join their game of cards. No grated
cheese on a cob here - a full slab of cheddar and some tangy onion. |
