Moon & Sixpence

We dropped into the Moon&6d during a brief stay in Tintern. It has a superb location overlooking the pretty meanders of the Wye. I tried 2 cask ales (butty bach, obviously and a local kingstone beer) both tasted great.
but i look forward to returning to try their menu next time. The interior décor is traditional and cosy, with seperate sections. It has a decent sized balcony which is a great spot to see this stunning open valley, or some pretty riverside benches. i could have stayed for hours, the staff were on the ball and efficient and i had a chat with new manager who seems to have the passion to really make something of the food side as well as the drinks, he is a product of B’hams excellent UCB so i have faith. a great stop off point midjourney or equally a casual destination for dinner with a cracking view.

This is a great pub to stop in if you come to visit Tintern. Apparently, Somerset Maugham visited here once and they decided to change the name of the place to honor one of his books. That’s how you know you’ve arrived as an author. There is a wonderful, ancient atmosphere in this low-​ceilinged building. I only had time for a quick pint, but there were several people enjoying Sunday dinners, and I would like to have tried one myself. This place has the most dangerous entrance/​exit I have ever seen on it. Once you’re out the door and down the steps, you’re pretty much standing in the road just beyond a blind curve. I don’t know how the drunks avoid getting run over. Anyway, I’d recommend this place over the pubs that are closer to the abbey.
