The Union Inn (67 min) Moretonhampstead
Since acquiring The Union Inn, Moretonhampstead Dave Coleridge and his partner Sian Hughes have been quietly implementing a programme of renovation over the last year. The most important was the refurbishment of the cellar and bar equipment. This he says, has led to an improvement in the quality of beer being served which on our last visit was Bass, London Pride, St Austells Dartmoor and Tribute. All drinking beautifully. Its not only real ale that they sell but very reasonable priced bar meals such as Beef & Real ale sausages, onion sauce and mashed potatoes and if you are not a red meat eater (god forbid) then try their pork and cider. The meats are locally sourced by local butcher Barry Moore who makes the sausages with Dave supplying the real ale. Watch out for his beer & banger festival in the late Autumn.
