“ Fortunately I can edit my review from last year which wasn't great. We returned this week and felt welcomed. Landlord is knowledgeable. Clientele are friendly. Nice place for a cider. You can even eat your fish and chips bought next door. ”
“ This turned out to be a real find ! We went in while waiting for our takeaway (from the nearby Spice Merchant Indian Restaurant - and well worth a visit if you are hungry - see separate review). Three solid real ales served from barrels behind the bar and lots of different ciders too. Proper quirky vibe about the place and everyone was friendly and you could get a good taste before you bought....I like that in a pub. I had a pint of the Porter, then a pint of the Wicked Wolf, and I'd have downed the Bearserker given the chance....but the food was ready for pick up. Great little place, well worth going if quirky real ale bars are your thing.....and they are mine.... ”
“ On a wet Monday in early December there's not much to do in Watchet but Pebbles came up trumps. Atmosphere, choice, characters and terrifying Dry Voltage cider (It's okay, I survived!) Huge dog, Beryl Cook type tipsy ladies, and 3 police cars outside the Coop on the way home. AND husband delighted to be served beer in a "proper" pint pot. ”
“ We was staying up the road and came in to Watchet town centre / harbour, popped into this little gem on a pub. Its only small bit has heaps of character and all sorts of historic things dotted about. I had a Guinness and it was beautiful they found a seat for me and the family when we entered. The atmosphere was great and the decor is very quirky if your in that area defiantly worth popping in for one. ”
“ What a quirky little place in the wall where the local drinks ! Dog friendly, nice atmosphere, great staff to help you out, a lot of interesting cider to have ! Lovely little place really enjoy the deco almost feel like your thrown back in time to the 60s. Shame that they don’t do food but they have made a deal with the chippy next door so you can eat your chippy in the pub and have you pint! Highly recommended this place to stop by a drink or two but be warned..the cider is like rocket fuel there!!! If you enjoy reading this and helped you out please do give me a thumbs up up and a follow, this would help me out so much and let me continue to review such place like this more in the future . ”
