This is a historical thatched pub, following in the footsteps of local poets Wordsworth and Coleridge, you enter and walk across the flagstone floor into the bar with an open fire, snuggle down in the Quantock room and experience real home cooked food in our open plan dining area.

We are dog friendly, and have extended our dog free area to include the dining area, as long as the dog is well controlled and on a lead.
We are well situated to attract families, walkers, *riders and cyclists alike as the Bick combines a lovely cobblestone courtyard and an extensive garden, with a Boules court, and indoor skittle alley.

*We also offer ‘hitching’ rails, hay and water for the horses whilst you sit and enjoy a drink or something to eat in full view of your horses.

All our meals are homemade wherever possible with the majority of our products being sourced locally
