One pub, disguised as an old Victorian cottage, has built up a reputution as serving up the West Country's best ploughman lunches. The Crown Inn is just off the A368 in the village of Churchill, treating diners to eye-catching traditional features and a large beer garden, reports Somerset Live.
Customers can enjoy the venue's log fire or marvel at the spot's low wooden beams, making this pub unique to any other in the area.
