Improve This Listing

Traditional thatched pub at the top of the town and is the oldest pub in Wincanton and consists of two rooms and a rear patio area. The left-hand room with an inglenook fireplace was originally a shop and was subsequently added to the pub. Wood panelling in the right-hand bar apparently came from the George Inn and was installed when that pub closed. It is a generally unchanged interior with what appears to be some original wooden fittings and benches around the walls which display many pictures and memorabilia.

Reputed to be haunted by Emily, a 7-year-old girl unfortunately run over by a horse and cart outside the pub in the 1700s…

The pub sign pays homage to novelist Sir Terry Pratchett who frequented the pub when visiting the (now closed) Discworld Emporium in the town.

Occasional live music and/or karaoke.

Historic Interest

Opened in May 1861 and named after Harriet Beecher Stowes book

Asset of Community Value

The left-hand bar has had a wall partly removed so that it's open to a staircase. Door to the rear section (which has a recently created back-snug) also taken out. Bar counter modern and very unpleasant. The only decent features are the genuinely old fireplace and a timbered ceiling. The right hand bar has the same style of grotty bar counter, a 1930s fireplace, some panelling and modern bench seating and shelving. A still extant external door formerly gave access to a hatch for serving cider, now blocked in. Outside gents. Not enough old fittings remain.
