The Poltimore Arms is a unique and eccentric pub that offers a one-of-a-kind experience. Powered by solar panels and drawing water from a spring in Exmoor, this off-grid establishment is a true gem. The landlord, known for his grumpy yet endearing persona, has attracted a cult following, including famous visitors like Damien Hirst and Prince. The pub's atmosphere is described as a "mad house," with a "proper spit and sawdust" feel and a wonderful, old-fashioned charm. Guests can enjoy a limited menu, with options like gammon and parsley sauce on Thursdays and pizza on Fridays, as well as the opportunity to bring their own desserts. The pub operates on a cash-only basis, as the landlord is "done with card machines breaking." This is a place where time seems to stand still, offering a rare and authentic drinking experience, far removed from the modern pub scene. Visitors are encouraged to visit this "proper old-fashioned adult pub from the past" before it becomes a mere memory.
