Pub 3383, Fromeway, Radstock. Final tick is a good ‘un. Uphill yomp to smooth appointed hoteller. Braces barmaid is a sweetheart. Exmoor drinks better than it has any right to. Wood panelling and leather benching holds your attention. See you in SW something.

Quarter Jack, Wells. Not all ‘Spoons are built equal. This is a grotbag that’d make Rod Hull fall from any roof. The German half pint was efficient , staff meant well but if it gets in a GBG, Emu will be throwing wings.

Pub 3382. Burcott Inn, Wookey. Amazing welcome from young dude and a lady who remembers sitting in same seat in the early sixties! It gives me hope for pub futures 🥹 S.Lightning twiggier than my pint earlier in holiday. Dead local wasn’t nice so lots of worm feed jokes😁

Great name! First few pints if Uley I had tasted like pig juice but been better since. Oink.

Queen Victoria, Priddy. Post emptive , would’ve been a silly miss. Change of ownership. Foodier? The lunchtime locals tell me there used to be a piano and somewhere to rest your drink on the exciting raised bench. Not any more! Butcombe Gold excellent n smoky fire in 🔥

Pub 3380, Hunters’ Lodge, Priddy. Corrr this is special. Real life active pub too, rare for a heritage 3*er. Chatty landlady. I force a Ship Portishead rivalry with the long serving guv. Sandwich codgers very 17thC Somerset. Two soup men video call a lady to try n ruin mood!

Pub 3379, Grace, Bishopston, Bristol. Beautifully curved building. No corners for evil spirits to hide in. That’s actually a thing I learned in York. Scampi F’s great at soaking up a delicious Uley. Feel strangely at home. Have I become Bristolized? Or am I just pissed? X

Pub 3378, Robin Hood, Kingsdown, Bristol. Beautiful building on a hill downslope. Studentine. Top barlord who reminds me of former work colleague ‘The Wedge’. Beer 3.4 sesh piss but I’m pleased it is gluggable. Good mural artwork tbf. People trying too hard.

Pub 3377, Royal Oak, Clifton Village, Bristol. Identity crisis inn, stuck between old n new, not really appealing to anyone. Well, it is empty today. Positives are a well kept malty 5% ale, the tiled floor, brassy bit near loos and cheerful staff.

Si Everitt - BRAPA @stymiesi.bsky.social · 14/10/2026
Yeah exactly same! I’d say better on cask cos you get the smoothness, not too cold, always think dark beers especially work better on cask 🤤

Pub 3376, Canteen, Stokes Croft, Bristol. The focaccia is massive. Canteen ain’t wrong. Two solids chaps on the Goulash. Cinder Toffee purrs as usual. Colin about to do a variety turn. Raining ☔️. Mass indoor exodus if that makes any sense! I’m on a reassuringly battered 4/10 rug.

It was a tough drink can’t deny 🥭 ! I get sucked in by anything unusual looking but agree at end of day I’d rather have a normal sturdy bitter 🥊

Si Everitt - BRAPA @stymiesi.bsky.social · 14/10/2026
Pub 3375, Greenbank, Easton, Bristol. Kept expecting that bloke who terrorised Dangermouse to be behind the bar. But nothing like. 100% Brizzle, colourful happy welcoming wooden backstreet cutester. How very dare they? Yellowhammer on song! Colin feels seen.

BRAPA STAT UPDATE: Somerset has overtaken Hants & Dorset and temporarily went level with Wilts, but Wilts slammed the door in Somerset’s face yesterday with a five pub haul to leave Cumbria nervous. Glos n Bris should overtake Staffs & E Sussex today, Kent anxious. Heref too. Wot drama here!

Pub 3374, Staple Hill Oak, Staple Hill. Spoons. Walked past this 2 yrs ago and said ‘ho ho, good luck getting in GBG mate, no chance!’ Has been in ever since 🙈. Strong one too, windows and carpet 8.5/10. Inspired the barman to try the Mango IPA. Strewth, full on! 🥭 🥭

Goood morning all, day 6/7 of this BRAPA Somerset autumn fest, today coming live to you from Bristol which is more Glos if you squint 🧑‍🌾 🤩 🍺 In other news, my Arla wallpaper paste was out of date and Rick Edwards parents sound ‘Impossible’ . #BRAPA

Pub 3373, Sickle , Bath. Dark heavy beats and red walls. This is like drinking inside a heart ❤️. Recommend . Too much straight v handled jug chat. Green hopped ESB is the perfect Parcel Yard pint. 100% Bath. Everyone studenty with floral poos & happy grins.

Bonus half. This is the Ruby 👌 German bloke wife returned but being browbeaten over Prem league results. He’s a cheeky chap. Hands hips guys actually Irish. If that makes him more acceptable. Not sure.

Pub 3372, Three Daggers, Edington. Soothing rural brew pub. Delighted to finally get here. Stout exceptional but it doesn’t stop White T hands on hips bellowing across room for a Guinness. Baldo Balde makes a joke about Germany, his wife disappears. Could stay here all night.

Pub 3371, Kings Arms, Trowbridge. Wow this is a strangely brilliant town centre boozer. Barmaid was chatty without being fully BRAPA engaged, and it made sense later when she told crazy lady with polyphonic Test Match Cricket ringtone she was avoiding a bloke round other side! Butcombe fizz.

Pub 3370, Rose & Crown, Trowbridge. On face of it, grey sports bar that wouldn’t be out of place on York Micklegate. But I was wrong. Fabulous pint of Witch Otter. All blokes are Championship lovebums. We have WBA, Bristol City and unverified Swansea (Welsh ‘tache n stick).

Si Everitt - BRAPA @stymiesi.bsky.social · 13/10/2026
Thanks for asking Rich. Been wanting to unload. In more ways than one 😆. It’s a struggle still. Better than yesterday but still that frustrating blockage feeling. We will see how today goes , Wiltshire water might help!

Si Everitt - BRAPA @stymiesi.bsky.social · 13/10/2026
Pub 3369, Seven Stars, Winsley. Nearly stayed indoors due to 8.5 carpet and barmaid’s words, but ultimately too many knives n forks. It meant I had to apologise to Jessie the dog. Twice. Outdoors, a distant bloke sings ‘I’m always smiling on the right side of life’. 🤔

Si Everitt - BRAPA @stymiesi.bsky.social · 13/10/2026
Pub 3368, Hop Pole, Limpley Stoke. Avon-side community winner. Inside a bit too smart for me but good bog roll coverage. Had to pay outside cos WiFi is down, so stayed there and enjoying a 5% Hopback Green Hop in sun like it’s 1850 wasn’t the worst outcome.

Gooood morning all from day 5 of this Somerset et al BRAPA challenge. A healthy bus attendance of 21, and although L**ds would’ve taken more, it is the best showing of the holiday so far. See you in a surprise location in about half an hour. Keep it pub.

Pub 3367, Cross Keys, Lydford on Fosse. It’s a brilliant pub and the Summer Lightning purred like a happy kitten but the staff were so cliquey, in a ‘we are what we are, and we love it!’ way that a visitor could never penetrate. Jarring! But what boozer.

Si Everitt - BRAPA @stymiesi.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
Pub 3366, Becketts , Glastonbury. Proper boozer full of fluffy lads Colin would approve of. Asked local bar duo if Otter Head would help or hinder bowels. “Don’t ask us moite, we drinks ziiiiider and guinnneezss” Outdoor bogs. I’m a fan. My poor guts are wrecked.

Si Everitt - BRAPA @stymiesi.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
Pub 3365, George & Pilgrims, Glastonbury. Delicious building. Haunted castle of a pub. 17th century bloke smoking in entrance. Told barmaid milk stout to settle my guts. She asked no questions. If ever a pub didn’t need to go big n early with Halloween decor, it’s here 👻 🏰

Pub 3364, Ring o’ Bells, Wookey. Gloomy as fooky, but maybe we can blame ‘Monday’? Carpet and door to the loos both excellent. The last ale is hanging on for grim death. I’m only customer in, so staff do pub stuff like ordering sirloin steaks, writing sums and talking tigers.

Shut pub alert! White Hart, Cheddar. The three cute house elves outside tell me they’re painting 🎨 . Shut for maintenance. They made sympathetic noises. Should’ve checked their Facebook. Never mind, back here Wed/Thu anyway. 💪🏻

Good morning from a muggy Bath 🛁. Day 4 of this Somerset Special. 🧑‍🌾 Not many pubs open on a Monday which is very cruel of them. 🏨 Found a solution but bus delayed just long enough to miss my connection. 🚌 😔 At least journey is free. 🤑 Attendance : 8 #BRAPA
