⚡️🎸LIVE MUSIC TONIGHT🎸⚡️
We have the amazing Timebomz playing tonight. And, there is a 50th birthday celebration going on, so it’s looking like being a great evening of music and celebration up here. Everyone is welcome to what you might call our end of summer gig. Free overnight camping is available, too. We look forward to seeing you here 😀☀️🎸💪

⚡️🎸LIVE MUSIC THIS SATURDAY🎸⚡️

As ever, free overnight camping is available, so why not come on up. We look forward to seeing you here 😀☀️🫡👌

Just a reminder there is still time to book in for the quiz and curry night event tomorrow night (23/9). It’s a full night of food, drink and entertainment, running from 7-10pm. Call 01823 421070 to book. We look forward to seeing you here😀

Also today, we are celebrating Lola’s 10th birthday (click and scroll to see her highlights reel). She lost her mum earlier this year, and she was a bit lost for a while, but she didn’t have too much time to be sad, what with her own kids, Henry and Ruby terrorising her daily. Lola seems to be one of the happiest animals alive, and I’ve said before, loyalty runs through her like ‘Blackpool’ through a stock of rock. She is steady, well-tempered and with a tail the never seems to stop wagging. Welcoming to all people and dogs alike, and with her dreamy eyes, she never fails to cheer anyone up. We could not have wished for a better dog. And, I am sure that all other pet owners, who love their animals in the same way as we love Lola, would agree that, even though we are the ones that feed and shelter them, they bring far more to our lives than we contribute to theirs. Happy birthday, Lola xx

⚡️☀️QUIZ ON WED 23rd SEPT, 7pm☀️⚡️
Join us for a full evening of entertainment, with a two-course, curry-themed meal and a challenging, but fun, general knowledge and current affairs quiz. Everyone agrees the food is excellent, and several teams are regulars, so I assume they enjoy the quiz part, as well. The quiz isn’t just about the facts - we also get to explore the stories behind some of the answers. For example, who would ever have thought that Chard is Somerset’s sexiest town? How is this true, I imagine you are wondering? Well, according to Lovehoney’s newly-released 2026 UK S*x Map, Chard has the highest 📈per capita purchases of sexual wellness products. A spokesperson had this to say of the result: ‘sometimes the most unexpected places have the most interesting stories to tell.’ Burnham-on-Sea, by contrast, was declared Somerset’s least sexy town📉😕 So, if you like a good old-fashioned, challenging quiz peppered with nonsense like this, and good food, why not sign up to the next event? Message or call 01823 421070 to book. We look forward to seeing you here 😀

LUNCH SERVICE 12-4pm TODAY

We have and extended lunch service today, with food available from now until 4pm. So, if you want a snack or light bite, or you want something fancier (examples of which are shown in the photos). Whether you want a late lunch or an early supper, we will be open a little later than normal this lunchtime. Unfortunately, however, there will be no food service this evening, and the pub will be closing at 8pm. We look forward to seeing you here 😀

⚡️🎸LIVE MUSIC THIS FRIDAY, 28/8🎸⚡️
Many thanks to The Man from Funkle for entertaining us last Friday. I was so snowed under I unfortunately didn’t manage to get any footage, but I know it was a great gig.
Now this Friday we turn our attention to Bar None, who are back with their mix of rock, pop and blues covers, which always go down a storm. Assuming the weather is kind, this will perhaps be the last outdoor gig of the summer, so take advantage while you can. Free overnight camping is available as always, so let’s make it an evening to remember. We look forward to seeing you here 😀

🏆 🥇 1️⃣ Mission accomplished😀 Here I am, wearing my own ‘maillot jaune’ to celebrate the victory of the 50 great stages of the Somerset CAMRA Pub Trail. I would like to take the time to thank all of those who have helped me on this journey. I would not have been able to complete it on my own, and it certainly would not have been as much fun. Thanks to Marie, for allowing me the freedom to pursue this madcap adventure. Thanks to my great support team of designated drivers, who made a sacrifice in support of my aim, and for no gain of their own. Thanks especially to Tom, who wasn’t even collecting the stickers, but who we eventually realised would have qualified for his own t-shirt had he bothered to collect them. Thank you to all my friends and customers of the Clavel who showed an interest in what I was doing, indulging this silly person in his silly caper. I cannot wait to receive my (very expensive) t-shirt and wear it with pride when I revisit the pubs.
