watersmeet pub 4*

a great pub and reason .. to walk past the Watersmeet tea rooms for approx 30 mins, so not for lazy beggers. great walk with lots of pretty waterfalls and pools. the pub has out side seating, but welcomes people and pets of all ages. food is great value..the prawn sarnies are to die for !

watch this space 3*

Martyn has recently took over this huge old pub. Lovely old beams great character. Bars snacks served during the week and Roast Sunday lunch. First pub ever to hold an ALL AGES DISCO with NO ALCOHOL . The adults had to buy their drinks from the main bar. The Clock Tower is the name for the Restaurant upstairs which will be fantastic once they are fully functional
