A supper of fish and chips is served and the whole evening, including use of the skittle alley and supper, is usually in the region of £12-£13 per head, depending on numbers.

Skittles Evening 2023 at Tuckers Grave Inn, Faulkland

As promised, the first Skittles Evening since the pandemic has now been arranged.

Tuckers Grave Inn is idyllic and quite unique, being one of the oldest traditional cider houses in Somerset having no actual bar. Ale casks are stacked on a stillage in an alcove, tapped, spiled, and poured directly into your glass. The pub has remained practically unchanged since WW1 and has many original Georgian features including wood-panelled pews. It is full of rustic charm. The skittle alley is in its own building attached to the inn and has a wonderful log fire for when the weather is cold. A supper will be provided during the evening.
