The Carpenters Arms

The charming, untouched pub, affectionately referred to as the 'Gluepot' by locals, is nestled next to a church in a quaint, dispersed hamlet. This establishment is a popular destination for walkers and hikers. The pub's front garden offers a stunning view of the Skirrid Mountain, located just across the border in Wales. Inside, patrons can enjoy the warmth of a fire from an impressive antique range, creating a cozy atmosphere in the two intimate drinking areas. In contrast to these smaller spaces, there is a larger restaurant area located towards the back of the pub. Here, guests can enjoy delicious, reasonably priced, home-cooked meals, with the steaks being a particular highlight. The Gluepot is one of the few pubs in the area that serves food on Monday evenings, making it a convenient choice for early-week dining. If upon arrival, the pub seems to be closed, don't be discouraged. Simply knock on the door - you might be pleasantly surprised! This welcoming and traditional pub is a hidden gem, offering a unique blend of comfort, quality food, and stunning views.
