Sprawling, isolated inn on the Mendip Hills, within reach by car of both Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole caves, and 1.5 miles from a campsite. The name is believed to derive from the time when the pub housed condemned criminals on their last night. A hostelry since 1684, it's popular for locally-sourced food, often including vegan and gluten-free options (phone ahead for special requirements). One guest beer features regularly from the South West and sometimes further afield, and a changing real cider is available. The child-friendly garden is busy in summer and dogs are allowed in the lower bar.

Information for this venue is provided by the Bristol & District Branch of CAMRA
