"My daughter and I popped in here for a drink last Sunday as I found it online and thought it looked a bit different. We weren't disappointed, it is truly wonderful in my opinion. If you like corporate style pubs gastropubs you're not likely to love the Timber Batts, but if you enjoy the uniqueness of British pubs you're going to be talking about it afterwards for weeks. Ross and Sarah were really friendly and Ross showed my daughter and I around and gave a back story to lots of the artefacts. He's an interesting guy and a big punk fan. Also a brilliant landlord as (because I was driving and it was mid afternoon) we only had one drink each but he was happy to chat and tell us all about the pub etc. I can't wait to go back again, especially as they apparently do pizzas and cajun food. They're only open quite limited hours though as really the whole place is an extension of their house, hence the hilariously eclectic style. If only more pubs were like this rather than the boringly safe gastropub identikit refits that seem to be happening everywhere you go. This really is a pub worth going out of the way for. Unfortunately I live 40 minutes away and am seriously envious of the residents of Bodsham having this amazing gem on their doorstep."

We loved everything about this place. Quirky as hell, great interior, great service, great food, great portions. Something a bit different to the norm. Give it a go.

What a place, Museum of curiosity indeed, what a collection and definitely unique. Food was out of this world, nothing was a hassle and the family who run the place are so friendly. We got a look into the forge whilst it was been used and what skills from Ross. True craftsman’s. Can not wait until my next visit.

A brilliant pub with a unique decor-you could never get bored exploring the quirky curiosities that cover the bar and restaurant. Food is excellent and nothing was too much hassle (our vegan friend was exceptionally well fed! If you’re looking for something a little bit different but with a friendly atmosphere and amazing hosts, then look no further!

As soon as we walked in, we loved it. A mixture of the weird and wonderful and a cozy rural pub. Food was fantastic. Lovely flavours, great portions and a real sense of home cooking at its best. My husband is vegetarian and often gets poor meals when eating out, but not on this occasion. The vegetarian pie was amazing . I had butter chicken which was beautiful. Dessert was just as fab with huge, beautifully decorated cupcakes and candyfloss on a stick...loved it! A gem of a place that must be visited, and visited again!

If you want to try something a little different then the Timber Batts is the place to go! It has changed somewhat considerably from its previous incarnation as a gastropub, and now the inside looks like a cross between Ripleys believe it or not museum and a biker bar, filled with curios of all kinds, and is probably like nowhere else you've ever been to eat or drink! The welcome is warm from the owners and their family who all run the place, but the best thing is the drink and the food. A good choice of real ales await you, and the burger I had was amongst the best (and most filling) that I've ever had, all coming in at a decent price. I cannot wait to come back and try the pizzas, and the o...
