A very popular pub with good food at the bottom of Gold Hill. On warm days you can sit out in the beer garden with views across the Blackmore Vale, but it's also nice indoors.

Ye Olde Two Brewers
24 St James's StA very popular pub with good food at the bottom of Gold Hill. On warm days you can sit out in the beer garden with views across the Blackmore Vale, but it's also nice indoors.
Only 5 minutes away, this is a good, decent pub for your first evening when you don't want to venture out too much. It serves good pub food and has a very pleasant interior. Quite large, so it's usually easy to get a table.
