"Unfortunately not able to eat there as didn't book before... turned up as passing. Very popular place. Food looks good . One downside.... as much as I like seeing chickens, geese and other fowl in their rightful place, at this venue, the birds are wandering all around the grassed car parking area. Feathers, bird poo a bit of a put off!! And being attacked by geese as trying to get to car... not great experience. The pub owner would do well to erect a proper enclosure for the fowl, where they would be safe, and away from customers driving in and out from the very busy main road, and walking to and from their cars from pub .."

right pub! was meant to visit for the old while we live the hill down, but was closed throughout the entire shutdown and beyond. nice to see it open now. will definitely be a regular station on the way home from a trip or a walk in the blackdowns. only for a drink, but they have good outside seats and a good selection of beer, ales and apfelwein, with good value too. we have to come back for dinner sometime.

The Holman Clavel is an absolute find. A small country pub nestled in the Blackdowns that has too much atmosphere and character to fit inside. Summer evenings are often best enjoyed in the pub front seating area where bands often play to enthusiastic customers fans. The food is amazing and the crackling winter fire entertains dogwalkers from far and wide. Definitely somewhere to go whatever the weather. Price per person: £30–40

"What do you want me to say? there is probably not enough superlative to describe how delicious a food experience we had. how many people I wanted to eat here already, but last night all stared and we could get a table. the waitress who welcomed us was worried that the kitchen would not be able to cope with as they were a worker and the kitchen was busy with other tables. (we arrived at 21:30 on a busy Thursday without an extended booking after we checked with the kitchen that we showed on our table and warn that it was a 30 minute delay on eating. we ordered drinks and munched on Bombay mix while looking for the menu. nice not to choose from an enormous selection. I had garnel as starter and my partner had kabeljau. we also ordered our net. selection of chickens, lambs or vegetables thali with various beside dishes. I chose chicken partner to choose lamb....if the starter arrived (in less than 30 minutes we realized that we were there for something special. beautiful presentation and taste not disappointed. both cooked to perfection and full of aromas that did not mask the fish. then came the net. fabulous presentation of separate dresses that contain our chosen court and bombay aloo, raita, dhal and rice. there was a beautiful cone poppadom on the teller and we also shared a naan. it looked fantastic and tasted incredible. the dahl was so good that I had eaten a bowl of it alone. super delicious and beautiful spicy heat that does not exaggerate. our individual dishes were immediately shared with each other, as they were too good not to share. the poppadom was super crispy without fat and more taste than for a simple pop natural....a manifestation! lamb was melted in mouth and the chicken had a real chicken flavor. we have licked the bowls pretty clean. we had enough space for khulfi. 4 elections....Coconut, pistachios, rose and saffron and kardamom. we had two and were blinded by all. the pistachios and cocosnuss were really beautiful and the rose and juice card a really unusual joy, especially the rose. the whole experience was enchanting and we chatted with the cook (which was in the restaurant that talked to all the hunters and cook! how much we enjoyed the meal. Please visit this restaurant. it is worth every penny, and we look forward to going back and telling everyone we do the same."
