You remind me of O'Malley and Pooley when threatened with the Flying Swan becoming a pub serving fizzy beer and chicken in a basket.

However they are going to take over a pub near Nunney so we can at least visit them. We are up staying in Glastonbury next weekend and the following week and have booked a lunch at Godney . Looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably spend my birthday evening on the 22nd in there as they do Thatchers dry on draft. Will be trying the King Arthur as I’ve heard a lot about the pub. Can’t wait to be back.

Hopefully the new tenants will rock up with big ideas that the village can change. Nice lunch at the Who'dy today......need to give the refurb'd Crown a try too when we can get inside. Enjoy your fish n chips 🍺 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always remember working at Glasto in the late 90's and early 00's and we would go up there after shift to have some beers. Not sure if it was the same owners as back then, but the new owners should keep it exactly the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
