Notley Arms in West Somerset

Great welcome from the hosts, who gave great advice on things to do and see in the area. We had a lovely 1 night stay at the Notley Arms. Lovely clean and comfy room. Great evening meal and breakfast in the pub which had a great atmosphere. We would stay here again.

Four of us visited the Notley for dinner a few weeks ago on a Saturday evening. We have eaten there a few times before with mixed results, but hadn’t been for a couple of years. Very limited menu - no fish option. Chicken main very salty. Burger was a very dense tasteless patty, sadly the only flavour came from the slice of cheese. Two of the party had lamb shanks which were over cooked, once again with very little flavour - we even wondered whether they had been bought in pre-cooked. Restaurant was half empty on a Saturday night, which speaks volumes. Simon the owner was cooking - they need a good chef, using quality ingredients. Having lived in the area for the last 10 years, we have found a number of excellent pubs, many for which you need to book well in advance. Sadly, this is not one of them.

We stayed at the Notley Arms nestled on the edge of Exmoor on our way to Cornwall (breaking our journey). We weren't sure what to expect, as it's fairly isolated by British standards. We certainly weren't disappointed in any way and this is a real gem of a pub which exudes the personalities of the owners at every turn. The Inn has an adjacent coaching garage that has been turned into accommodation. Given the constraints of the building, this has been done sympathetically producing warm, comfortable and functional rooms with en suite bathroom. We were staying for one night and had most of what we needed for the stay. The only area for improvement (and that's slight) related to our room (far right bottom floor). The desk was a bit wobbly so I chose not to use it as a desk and the power points weren't ideally placed for the room - but that's largely a function of the original building. Either a small fridge (hotel or camping) would have been useful under that desk - there is room - or some milk for the teas and coffees in the room. But that's the extent of any missed opportunities. For a couple of days no issues at all. Now for the positives - and there are miriad. The pub has quaint, even chocolate box appeal, but that can often hide a sterile or less welcoming interior. In this case, you have nothing to worry about. The Notley Arms is somewhere Falstaff could be found by the fire. Rumpole of the Bailey might well have retired to the village and feel very much at home in the welcoming atmosphere - absolutely no Chateau Thames Embankment here though. The restaurant has a great menu and will give most gastropubs a run for their money any day of the week. The wine list is equally varied and has some really atypical finds. I particularly liked the Hahn Californian Pinot Noir which I challenge you to find as reasonably priced this side of the Atlantic. The owners are welcoming, friendly, know the area very well and take an interest in all their guests (based on my experience). The pub is great for walkers, ramblers and has good parking - so great if like us you're breaking a journey. All in all, the Notley Arms is somewhere I'm sure would improve most days and long may it continue.

Fifth visit to Notley Arms. Always very welcoming, great food and lovely people.

Greeted by Simon, what a nice chap, friendly, accommodating, made recommendations with a crib sheet of where to go sight seeing. Food was superb, we had Sunday dinner, roast beef with all the trimmings and lamb shank, roast potatoes, plenty of veg and Yorkie pud’s. Excellent food the dessert was scrumptious treacle tart and custard, home made nicest I’ve ever tasted. It was so good we went back again as a treat on the last night of our holiday. Same excellent service and food I cannot recommend this highly enough. Thank you to Simon and his staff.

We went to the Notley Arms on a recommendation. The landlord was very friendly and welcoming and encouraged us to have a look at the church next door while we were waiting for our meal. The pub is very atmospheric and we imagine that it must be wonderful at Christmas. Our food was good and the service was very efficient. Our only criticism would be that the menu could be more extensive, but we would be happy to visit again when next in the area.

Great little pub food for a stop if passing...

Lovely location in village with fab walk, uphill behind pub, fantastic views from the top. Quirky pub with lovely food & great hosts. The only reason I gave 4* for the room was that we were downstairs in the Coach house, so a tad dark because we had trees outside the window, but nothing wrong with the actual room at all . Tea/coffee, lovely big cups. Ensuite.

We arrived lateish for Sunday lunch with 2 adults and 2 children and were welcomed with open arms. 2 adults and one child had a beef roast and they were generous portions especially for the child. The other child had beetroot wellington (the vegetarian option). It was all delicious and the desserts were amazing. Throughly recommended. (Yes it was down a bunch of little lanes but it’s rural Somerset, what do you expect?)

Wow, £20 for 2 pints and some nuts. Ripped off for sure

A beautiful place with wonderful hosts ... food was outstanding ... could not be happier

This has to be one of the best pub restaurants we’ve ever been to ! From the moment you walk in you are made to feel like an old friend by the fantastic landlord Simon. All of the staff are great and the food was amazing . The whole ambience of the pub is warm and welcoming and if I could give a higher score than five I would ! Go ! You won’t be disappointed 😀

What a great pub/hotel/Inn and landlord. Places like this and landlords like Simon are very rare these days. From the moment we walked in (both nights) we were made to feel very welcome. The table was laid ready for us and the service was excellent. Food & drink was also very, very good. Would thoroughly recommend and aim to return soon.

Jovial host he went out of his way to get me a decent meal due to allergies. Great food. Pudding to die for. Easy to find. Highly recommended to everyone.

What can I say about this amazing place? Used Notley arms as a pit stop on our way to st Ives and was greeted with open arms after our 5 hour drive. Ask the owner where can I watch the England match and he put it on the tv for me on a table opposite. Wife eventually joined me for a lovely dinner while watching England win the match. We had our dog with us and he was just as welcome as we was. Next morning we had a lovely breakfast and was told about a local attraction Tarr steps which we visited on our way to st Ives and once down here we took on board the knowledge of the owners to make our visit to st Ives even more special. Will definitely visit again for our annual trip to Cornwall. Thank you guys

Superb country hotel, bar and restaurant run by the kindest lady in the business, Caroline, a great host with a great sense of humour. Definitely recommended. Will come again. Excellent food, room, atmosphere, setting and plenty of kindness. I read the neg reviews below and saw none of that. We were 22 Enduro bikers for an evening meal, all served together & it was flawless. Breakfast was the same. The hotel has 8 rooms and they are not a late night bar, they focus on closing the bar around 10 so the guests get a good sleep & the same staff were right in point at 745 or so with breakfast service.

Had one of the best Sunday lunches I’ve had in a long time. Great service.

One of the best Sunday lunches I’ve had for a long while. Wonderful variety of veg, meat perfectly cooked and to top it off a magnificent treacle tart. The landlord and landlady were so welcoming to a couple from the far east (of England!), when we return to the West Country we will definitely try and stop by.

We had the best Friday night birthday dinner here with the friendliest staff. The lamb and steak dinners were fantastic and I was made to feel so welcome and comfortable, as I was on crutches. They have a stunning love seat in the middle of the pub, do book this for a special occasion ❤️ As we were visiting the area, the owner had such good recommendations for Somerset and North Devon, that we went further afield than we had planned! Highly recommended.

Stayed one night with Ten friends walking the Coleridge Trail. Simon and Caroline are fantastic hosts in this beautiful pub/hotel. Rooms and food were superb.

Visited today for Sunday roast. The pub is absolutely beautiful and such a warm welcome from the owners. The Sunday roast was the best roast I have ever had. Will definitely be back!

Fabulous pub in the hamlet of Monksilver not far from the coast or national park. Simon & Caroline are the perfect hosts making us and Ted (our dog) extremely welcome. The food was delicious and very welcome after a day walking. Our room in the coach house was most comfortable with all we needed the ground coffee a lovely touch. Would highly recommend

Perfect getaway location for Exmoor and the surrounding area. Landlord and Landlady are super friendly and can't do enough to make you feel welcome. Highly recommend 👌

The accommodation was very spacious, the food was fantastic, a very cozy atmosphere to feel good and the conversations with the owners were very amusing and inspiring. Thank you very much, we'll be happy to come back :-)

This is a great place to stay, the staff/ owners really look after you. We will be back.

We visited here because of a family connection with the village. The welcome from Simon and Caroline was lovely. We had a huge fully wheelchair accessible room (and bathroom) which was very comfortable. Dinner menu was slanted towards local produce and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Nice range of drinks with a really tasty local beer. Great breakfast too again with a local focus. Great value for money. We will be back.

A great Inn, food superb, hosts extrodinare, in the sticks but worth every effort to visit.

Stumbled across this pub on a Sunday drive. Very welcoming and friendly staff, made you feel very welcome. Food was delicious 😋. Fabulous Sunday Roast. Top class customer service 👌.

One night stay in this lovely location, Warm welcome. The room was nice, large and warmly heated . The bed was really comfortable. The pub itself is lovely , enjoyed a lovely meal there In the evening . It ms worth mentioning that the accommodation and pub are very dog friendly. It’s near the coast with lots of good walks on the doorstep too. The breakfast was also very good. We would recommend a stay at the Notley Arms

Booked a couple of nights stay at the Notley Arms for myself and my mother in order to take part in the Honda Dave Thorpe enduro day over Exmoor. Beautiful and quiet location situated in Monksilver village. Simon & Caroline are fantastic hosts and made us both feel very welcome. The rooms are tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable. My room was a little on the small side, but perfectly adequate for what I wanted. The restaurant and bar area have an eclectic decorative style making it very interesting to look round. I found the food to be absolutely delicious, proper homemade food, decent portions, locally sourced produce, cooked and seasoned well at the right price point. All in all we felt very well looked after and wouldn’t hesitate in staying there again in order to explore the local area. Thank you for a wonderful stay 😊👍

We stayed at the Notley for our anniversary as we love walking in the area. The room was very nice and had everything we needed. Breakfast was simple and lovely. We had dinner there both nights and the food was great. Menu was perhaps not quite to my taste but I can be quite fussy! Dog friendly everywhere so our doggo was made to feel very welcome. The couple who own the place are informative and approachable. They know a lot about the local area too, if you're stuck. The pub is in a good location for getting onto the Coleridge Way and other footpath networks. Lovely place to stay and we'd go back.

Had another lovely meal at The Notley and as always it didn’t disappoint. Staff are so friendly and helpful, great choice of beers which are priced reasonably and brilliant food. I had the beef stew which was wonderful. Highly recommend this local establishment if you haven’t tried it.

Very disappointed in the standard of the food,evening meals definately not up to Chef standards and the full English breakfast very poor, fair to say don’t go for the culinary experience

Lovely host and meal, wonderful experience

Stayed for 2 nights while in the area. Simon is a great host even kept the place open when my flight was delayed and I missed the 9pm check in time. Lovely hot showers in room, the room was spotless too. Bar and restaurant could not fault, food was great! would recommend to anyone in the area wanting a place to stay and eat/drink.

Stayed for a family reunion; lovely accommodation, fantastic food and a wide selection of wines. The hosts are knowledgeable and fulfil your requests before you have even made them at times! Amazing service and so accommodating. A lovely place to stay. We will be back.

The hotel is in a really very remote location, the roads leading to it are narrow and have to be driven with caution. The welcome we received was very friendly indeed and the check in procedure was very efficient. We were shown to our room in a converted coach house, across the car park, we were in room #3. There was a window in the room, but it was quite high, I am over 6 feet tall and could not see out to the car park which was next to our room. We noticed many marks on the walls, but after a long drive, just wanted to get a drink and a meal. We went into the bar and ordered a couple of drinks which we thought we would have in the beer garden, as it was a very warm day. I think the best way I can describe the garden was ramshackle, there were large tears in the parasols, junk strewn around at the back of the garden, the grass was at least ankle deep, quite a few cigarette stubs were discarded by the table nearest the entrance, I didn’t notice if there were any ashtrays at all and the threshold leading into the bar/ restaurant was caked in mud, from the marks, I assume from the paws of the dogs. I appreciate it is a dog friendly establishment but I am not too keen seeing dogs entering in a muddy state and then sitting by the tables being fed by their owners. I suppose the state of the garden should have prepared me for what we were about to discover in room #3. Once back in the room we looked at the en-suite, it was minuscule and not very well installed, to be blunt, it was a total bodge job, poor finish and very poor sealing. This meant there were gaps and crevices which had accumulated dirt and mould, the grout on the floor tiles was very dirty, shown up by a little of it still being clean. There were huge cobwebs hanging down in the en-suite, some still had their makers hanging in them. I had to have a shower because it had been a long drive, but my wife totally refused to use that facility, given the fact it was not clean. Also one of the towels was stained when we opened it out. We went for a meal in the restaurant, there is nowhere else anywhere near, having read the reviews and seen the menu on the website it looked appealing, another mistake. We had a table for two, adjacent to an alcove which I assume had once been a fireplace but now had another table placed into it, once more there were cobwebs down the side of the wall. The menu only had 3 hot starters on it and we were politely informed that they had sold out of calamari. This left Soup or a Camembert for sharing, so we ordered the home baked bread. It took 45 minutes for the bread to arrive and when it did there were 4 very thin slices. The main I had was liver and bacon which was cooked well, my wife had the hake and courgette spaghetti, which was swimming in a sauce Veronique, which tasted as if it was only cream. I had seen the menu on the website which had a cheeseboard for £8, this evenings menu it was £15, quite misleading. Back in the room, the walls are very thin, we heard a dog barking and were then disturbed by somebody coming into the coach house at about 1 am. Breakfast on the Sunday morning was from 8am -9 am, we arrived back in the restaurant at about 8:15 and were asked to sit at any table for two. The owner came over and asked if we wanted tea or coffee, which we ordered, he then said “I’ll get your breakfasts”. No choice of eggs, in fact just take it or leave it. In fairness the quality of the produce was very good, but I would have liked poached rather than fried eggs. When we returned to the coach house to collect our luggage there was mud all over the entrance, I assume from a dog walker who had returned, there was no facility for this to be cleaned, just a mop would have done. You have to check out by 10am, I was very pleased to be leaving by 9:15.

If I could give Notley arms an award I would I had lunch with my husband today. In fact we stayed for an evening and every single meal, hotel, the service everything was amazing. I had the beetroot Wellington and lemon posset and I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Average, overpriced. Lovely sea bass.Ham egg and chips .Enough ham to fill a small sandwich.Top that with 10%automatic service charge.Would i go back ..no .

This is a lovely village inn Loved and cared for by the owners Simon and Caroline and the staff chris, They are truly lovely people that can’t do enough for you and passionate about there village and exmoor The Inn food is superb and cooked to perfection using top quality ingredients And the breakfast was superb I stayed in the single room and the quality and decoration was beautiful and exceptional I can only imagine how good the four poster rooms are We came because of an event close by but honestly would come back here and only to here to experience exmoor Thank you All

Expensive beer but food was fab.

You can tell when someone is putting his heart into his work

This is a lovely pub, with rooms, in a lovely location. The owner and staff were all welcoming and very friendly as well as being accommodating to requests. Dogs were welcome everywhere.

We enjoyed a superb weekend at the Notley. Simon and Caroline were most welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. We had beautiful rooms, food was delicious and would definitely return again. Auntie Margaret thought it was marvellous!

Wonderful place to stay. Ambience and food fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble for owners Simon & Caroline. Would definitely visit again. Auntie Margaret enjoyed her visit too

We had such a great time here! Our room was comfortable, and the village interesting. Our host Simon was great, letting us know what to see and how to get there! The food was lovely and the staff terrific. Highly recommended

Another amazing meal at The Notley Arms. Great food and service as always. Simon was welcoming as ever. Great wine recommendation by Chris. We will be back . Sara and Lance

Fantastic two night stay at the Notley Arms. Simon and Caroline are great hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. Lovely food in a great setting. Highly recommended.

Lovely pub / inn in a sheltered valley with a stream on Exmoor. Nice rooms, tastefully decorated and practical. Plenty of lounge space downstairs, lovely garden too. Very nice meals and attentive service plus nice music. All in all a very nice place to stay.

Gorgeous place, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, amazing food, breakfast and dinner, lovely beer garden as well. lovely owners. What a find….

This place is a hidden gem, The Notely is a privately owned pub/restaurant/ accomodation run by Simon and Caroline. The hostes with the most warmth/ care and attention to their guests. I was welcomed by Simon, who clearly loves what he does, they are both people’s people. The interior is beautifully styled, I could have stayed for a week. To eat I had a ribeye steak cooked to perfect by Bryony, the best steak and chips I’ve had in years, why do so many pubs get it wrong? Bryony is also a fountain of local knowledge, with lots of tips on great hidden places to walk and visit. I came for the weekend on my motorbike and was made to feel at home. Simon and Caroline cooked and served up a lovely breakfast, all excellent quality local produce. There’s not many places like this in the whole of the UK, as Arnie says,’ I’ll be back’!!!

I stayed two nights whilst doing the Honda Adventure experience. I stayed in a small, single room which served all my needs for the short time I spent in it. I had to cover the emergency exit sign opposite the bed which I guess is a safety requirement. I was made to feel very welcome by Simon the owner and Chris and learnt much about the local area. Both the Inn interior and beer garden were glorious places. I hope to bring my partner with me on a future visit.

Small room but everything we needed. Friendly helpful owners and staff. Very good dinner and breakfast. Nice village setting

First time here tonight. Such a great welcome. The staff were great, Chris was fabulous. Great ambience, fantastic food & brilliant service. Lovely garden and easy to park.

Great place to stay ! Service excellent rooms were comfortable. Simon the owner was very friendly and knowledgeable of the local area giving us places of interest to visit

Great location, great food & the room I had was a single which was clean a very well presented, slept very well there & was very quiet

Fantastic home made food. Really friendly, we have been here before and will return again. 5* Give it a try

This is a real gem. Booked a one night stay on our way home from further up country. As soon as we arrived we were made to feel welcome. Enjoyed an excellent draught ale in the lovely beer garden. A splendid evening meal and a...

We stayed here during a quick visit to Exmoor National Park, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Hosts Simon and Caroline were delightful, going out of their way to make us feel welcome. I'm still dreaming about the spring bean and...

Had an excellent experience of staying two nights in this outstanding establishment. Room was quaint whilst being comfortable. Dinner in the pub's restaurant was delicious. Log wood burner increased the atmosphere. The owner was friendly and helpful. A place to visit if ever in the area.

Excellent service from Simon what a host - remembered us and looked after us so well - Sunday lunch we had beef it was delicious we got recommended a wine be which was amazing we will be back very soon

Excellent dinner. We shared mussels to start with followed by sea bass and steak. All were good and I recomend. The male waiter was lovely and attentive. The only thing they should be a bit careful is that the waiter and waitress didn't get on...

We stopped at the Notley Arms on the way down to Cornwall and just wow! What an amazing place. On arrival, we were greeted by the owners and made to feel at home straight away. We sat in the bar chatting and soon found out...

Evening meal while on the Honda Adventure Experience. Fish bites, Spaghetti Bolognese & crusty bread with locally made butter. Just the ticket after a hard day's ride.

Can't comment on the rooms, but our friends were happy there. Food, service and beer excellent. Especially like the Exmoor ale, just how a bitter should be.

Very, very good! Wheelchair access is superb without being clinical or losing the ambience of an old and characterful pub

What a gorgeous pub. Superb in everyway except needing to ask for a key from behind the bar for the accessible toilet and then finding the loo impossible to use because of the highchairs stacked in it. But. Good parking and level access into and...

Three day break. Very comfortable accommodation. A hidden gem. Very attentive and helpful staff. The proprietor,Simon. was an excellent host. Sharing knowledge and making suggestions. All meals were of a high standard. Will recommend and consider a future visit.

Walking into a freezing cold pub with a frigid welcome should have raised alarm bells. 2 pints in hand ,we checked the very limited and expensive menu. When asked if bar snacks were available were scornfully told that is the menu. In desperation ordered fish...

Love this place, even tried to buy a house in the village!! Simon is great host, good beer, v good food

Lovely place, Notley Arms has been finished so well by Simon and Caroline. Simon is a great host,full of knowledge and great with people. Food really good. Only critisum for me was our materess was too hard.

Had an evening meal here with my elderly and hard-of-hearing parents! Food was delicious and specific dietary requirements well catered for. Soup especially was super-delicious. Best thing was how brilliant the main guy/waiter was with my parents - who can find things a bit difficult. He was good humoured and patient without being patronising, excellent service. We had a fab evening - thank you! Will deffo be returning.

From the welcome to the food, the whole experience here is excellent. I am rarely speechless in general, however the scotch egg for my starter was incredible. I then had the Turkey Roast and it’s incredible. Highly recommend.

Not what it used to be! Pretty tasteless food. I've been here three or four times over the past 3-4 years. The first two visits a few years ago the most recent was last night. Personally, I thought it was a real let down and over priced. Service was okay, nothing out of the ordinary. Speed of service was acceptable but the food was a real let down. I had Brixham scallops starter which we're cold and tasteless, my son had pigeon which was nice but the accompanying bits were pretty tasteless. My wife had hake for main which was cold and the veg which came with it resembled a few stir fry veg yoy could do at home. My youngest son had a horseradish burger which we were worried might mot be to his taste (he's 8 and fairly fussy), we shouldn't have worried as non of us could taste any flavour of horseradish. I had venison main which I wouldn't rate higher than a 5 out of 10. It's a massive shame that it was such a let down as I've always said positive things about this restaurant. It could possibly pass off as okay, but when your charged over 35 for a main course it needs to be better. We weren't the only ones who had issues with cold food as other returned there's also. Unfortunately the icing on the cake was a forced 10% service charge! £180 for four people.

Stayed 3 nights absolutely lovely room very relaxing bar area and restaurant Limited menu for me and room wasn't serviced during our stay unfortunately beautiful village but remote staff were fantastic and friendly

Not been in for 25 years, but still lovely, and the most wonderful bowl of soup.

One of the best pubs we've been to in a long time. Everything was faultless.

The room was really nice, the bed was not to my liking, But everything else was awesome with the room.. The service during the day and night was hit and miss. Wasn't to welcoming, but friendly enough... But on the other hand the morning service was second none. Could not of don't enough, made up for the service yesterday. The food is good but lacked attention when food orders taken.. Burger returned as was under cooked for my liking, honey roasted ham was full of Clove flavour and not mentioned and was left uneaten, breakfast eggs were runny and undercooked and lacked a decent portion. Good food but over priced and not to our taste.

The kindly owners of the Notley Arms shared free Wifi with desperate students from King's College School, WImbledon, who were visiting on a Biology fieldtrip locally. Finding themselves without Wifi and needing to prepare for the BMAT & NSA OxBridge Admissions Tests there were tears.......

A brilliant pub with delicious food and an artistic touch

I do not like to write a bad review but maybe it'll help up the standard.The staff were friendly and welcoming. Our party of 8 ordered roast dinner, 7 beef and 1 pork. All of us were shocked by the size of portion. 2 small...

Excellent food and service, bit of a limited menu for vegetarians. But the staff/kitchen were more than happy to put something together for my wife on short notice as she didn't like the options available. Absolutely amazing food, my steak was cooked to perfection. All...

We certainly struck gold with this place . Simon and his staff were amazing . Thank you for making us so welcome the pub is lovely and food fantastic. The rooms lovely and clean and comfortable. We certainly will be staying again

Visited many times - always delicious food. Roast dinner is amazing so don't miss out on a Sunday. Great country pub vibes.

Stayed overnight for work in the area and what a wonderful friendly place and excellent food. Staff were extremely helpful with advice on local walking/ running routes and also enabled me to work on my laptop before leaving in mid morning. I'll definitely stay again when next in the area as the food was super.

Absolutely the best Sunday lunch in Somerset Excellent hosts and imaginative menu especially the recently reintroduced scotch egg Not to be missed

I am never disappointed when going to this pub. The food is delicious, you are made very welcome and the setting is beautiful. My recent visit was to the wake of a dear friend. Although a very sad occasion, Caroline went over and above to...

So disappointing we had looked forward to this it was a lunch time. It was not busy but the table mats were smeared in previous people's food not good and no excuse. We sat in the pavilion outside the table was dirty and so were...

Used the Notley Arms for lunch en route to Devon , We had read good reviews but did not pre book. Full menu available at lunch time with some yummy options. Decor is a qurky mix of old and new very cleverly put together.

Stayed 28th July. This was the last of 4 nights away. One at the Castle Hotel, Taunton and two at Burgh Island. The room was fine and everything that we required. The food was the best that we had all week . Next morning my wife and I had a full English. All of it was good, the sausage being the star. There is a very interesting church less than 50 yards away from the Inn with gargoyles a plenty. We will definitely return

Wonderful hosts, food and service! We were there for dinner only so cannot comment on rooms, but fab decor and atmosphere is n restaurant.

We visited the Notley Arms for dinner on Wednesday July 27th. We were warmly welcomed by our hosts, the menu was varied and had dishes to please everyone in our group, the food was delicious, portions were generous and there was a relaxed and enjoyable...

5 stars for decor..location and service..highly recommended by 2 thirsty bikers.
