Punchbowl

This is an attractive tile hung building with a large brick inglenook covered in horse brasses in the flag stoned lounge which is popular with walkers and cyclists. In total there are three separate drinking and eating areas on the ground floor. The one to the right of the central bar is the public bar and has some very comfortable seating in it and the one to the left is a restaurant area laid for eating. Parts of the building date from 14^th century, although most is newer. There is also a room upstairs which can be used for meetings, functions and as an overflow eating or drinking area if the pub is busy. Previously a freehouse, Hall & Woodhouse bought the pub in 1991, it was then sold back to the free trade and is now again a family run freehouse rather than part of a small chain. There are usually two guest beers, one of which is often from Dartmoor, with Jail Ale being a favourite of several locals, and guests are likely to come from either a local brewery or a medium sized independent such as Hogs Back, Ringwood or Timothy Taylor. Food is served from 12-2:30 and 6-9 Monday to Thursday, 12-9 Friday and Saturday and 12-4 Sunday. The main menu is supplemented by an extra a la carte menu on Thursday to Friday and there are popular roasts on a Sunday. There is a children's menu, a meal deal on Monday and a half price steak deal on Wednesday. Dogs and children (till 9pm) are welcome and WiFi is available. There are monthly music and general knowledge quizzes.
