The pub changed its name to avoid
confusion with the Portcullis in
Chipping Sodbury. This pub is the focal
point of the ancient village of
Tormarton. Built in the 1700s its modest
Virginia creeper-covered stone frontage
belies its spacious, unassuming main
bar. It has an oak-panelled restaurant
which provides freshly-cooked generous
meals at modest prices, weekday evenings
and lunchtimes at weekends. The friendly
landlord/owner takes pride in his fine
selection of beers sourced mainly from
local breweries he gives a warm welcome
to all. Six en-suite guest rooms are
available.
