19/06/2026

By God i find IT and rules off its use so frustrating:

We have a magnificent evening coming next week and all i wanted to do was use a few Disney quotes, pictures etc but you categorically cant without being sued.

So we have the beautiful Grace doing Disney Classics. Yes she will be singing some of the most famous tunes in a very different manner.

So bring the family including the children as they will simply love it. SUPPORT Local artists as its them that keep local going.

Free Entry as usual
Super selection of draughts
Huge Array of non alcoholic drinks and cold

Saturday 6pm till 8Pm so sensible time for the children :)

DO OR DIE ❤️❤️❤️

So I'm a publican that absolutely detests football.

Well I'm a person running a craft bar with superb beers, ciders, spirits and snacks that will help others like me that find football a challenge?

* Overrated
* Irrelevant to life
* Over paid
* Simply pointless

Well as the title says do or die,will probably be my downfall or it will attract those who need a " football safe haven"

I can't offer TV's showing the football, but I can offer great music and superb banter.

I can't offer some that turn into superman after 1.5 pints of fosters but I can offer delightful craft schooners of delicious beers etc

I can't offer loud abusive language but I can offer conversation appropriate to the situation.

Well hope to see you all soon

Phew the rot has been broken. After 3 weeks of a lack of customers I'm glad to say this was broken last night. A steady influx of once again beautiful people,that wholly appreciated the craft beer scene. Lots of new people who left superb feedback for me Thankyou 🥰

Well at present we have the following on tap:

Big fish Cornish IPA not for the faint hearted, at a mere 8% abv
2 other IPA's from Dark Revolutions slowly becoming one of my favourite breweries ❤️ between 3.4% and 4.8% abv
A french cider at a mere 7% very different with a wee big of a kick.
A beautiful fruit Sour beer also from Salisbury at 4.6% abv
And of course our own CZECH pilsner " Winnie piddle" At 4.8% abv brewed by Piddle Brewery in Dorchester.
We now offer 4 house cocktails and the Whisky mule last night was simply pomelled by 4 young ladies thankyou.
We also offer 8 different canned cocktails by MOTH they are simply lush. We add the crushed ice appropriate fruits and you have a fresh cocktail of your choice.

Over the next 2 weeks I'm going to spruce up the outside area as it was last on my list to do.
It will look hopefully a lot better with 2 / 3m by 3m canopies to protect you all from the sun.

It's going to be a great Saturday weather wise so pop down and say hello 👀👀😉

As the song says "don't worry be happy" 😎😎😎🥰❤️😇

Good morning Wincawelers ❤️❤️

It's been a really quiet few weekends not sure to why but hey it's hospitality.

We have some really great draughts ranging from a full fruit gose to a 8% DIPA all the way from sunny Cornwall.

A few people have asked what is a GOSE fruit beer, and is it actually a beer well here's the explanation to that question.

The combination of salt and sour flavors naturally mimics the profile of a sports drink or a summery cocktail. When combined with fresh fruit, the salt enhances the natural fruit sugars, creating a flavor explosion that is sweet upfront, sharply tangy in the middle, and crisp and dry on the finish.

It's very different and personally it's fruit beers that enhanced my drive towards the craft beer scene.

We have a Dark Revolutions fruit beer on draught and over 10 Gose beers in the fridge. So if you want to try something different then we are the place to be 😱😱😱😇

We are not just about beers we also have draught ciders over 20 bottled and canned ciders including a local cider which is superb.

Around 15 different bottles of wine and fizzy stuff all from smaller vineyards rather than the
Usual commercial vineyards.

30+ spirits with over 10 different rum choices ps I'm a wee bit of a rum man lol

So if your at a bit of a loss today pop down to the Wincawel Tap n Spile based on Wincanton high street next door to the indian restaurant 💝 🍺

Great music " no Modern"
Superb draught options
The adult candy shop fridges will not disappoint
Beautiful selection of wines and spirits
Lovely indoor and outdoor seating areas

But most of all a guaranteed friendly and very different vibe than what you may have experienced in other craft bars 🥰🥰

Alan is on tonight so pop in and have a chat 💬

2 more days to go before we have the most talented Spanish guitarist I have ever had the pleasure to listen too.
John Pickard is simply amazing and this time round he is playing songs we can all sing or hum along too lol.
When Saturday 7pm till 9pm it's free entry plus we will have a big change in draughts this week end with a superb 8% DIPA from GOODH Brewery " The Big Fish"🐠 Wincawel Tap n' Spile

is a DIPA you may ask well here is the technical write up for you ladies and gents that want to know 😇😇😇😱

A "diph beer" is a slight misspelling of DIPA, which stands for Double India Pale Ale (sometimes called an Imperial IPA).A DIPA is a bigger, stronger, and more intense version of a standard IPA. Because the term "double" means it is brewed with more malt and double the hops, you can generally expect:Higher Alcohol: Usually ranges from 7.5% to 10% ABV (compared to a standard IPA's 5–6%).Intense Hops: A massive punch of tropical fruit, citrus, and pine flavors.Malt Balance: A heavier, richer malt base is required to balance out the intense hop bitterness and high alcohol.

Well you simply won't want to miss this will you ?? ❤️❤️❤️

Don't forget we have an outside area too so a tan is guaranteed 👍

Cheers Team Winnie
