The Nog Inn

The Nog Inn is a Grade II listed freehouse pub in the heart of Wincanton, South Somerset, England, close to the meeting point of Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire and about two minutes from the A303. It operates as a traditional British pub offering homemade food, a range of drinks, a walled beer garden, two wood burners, and four letting rooms in the garden. The pub is dog friendly in the bar and garden, though not in the accommodation. It is run by William and Amy, who describe it as a warm and welcoming freehouse. The name is explained on the pub's own website through the words 'nog' and 'noggin', referring to a small quantity of alcoholic drink, a small drinking cup, or a strong ale formerly brewed in Norfolk. The pub notes that, to the best of its knowledge, there are only two 'Nog Inn' pubs in the country, the other being in Feniton, Devon. The Nog Inn is a small independent hospitality business rather than a chain or listed company.

The Nog Inn is a Grade II listed pub in Wincanton, South Somerset, England.

The building's listed status indicates historic architectural interest, though the evidence provided does not give a construction date or a detailed chronology. The pub's name is discussed on its website: 'noggin' is defined as a small quantity of alcoholic drink, typically a quarter of a pint, or a small drinking cup generally carved from the burr of a tree; 'nog' is defined as any wooden peg, pin or block, any beverage made with beaten egg, or a strong ale formerly brewed in Norfolk. The website also states that, to the best of the owners' knowledge, there are only two 'Nog Inn' pubs in the country, the other being in Feniton, Devon.

No founding year, corporate parent, or ownership chain is given in the available evidence; it appears to operate as an independent freehouse.
