Back at L&G in the 80s we had a Bar Billiards table. Very popular it was too. Shame it's a bloody hospital now.
Skittles.
My late father came from Somerset, when I was a child we used to stay down there with family, my father used to visit a pub with a skittle alley. I was allowed to play skittles while my father had a few pints with his mates.
He once told me they played a game called Spoof with his mates in pubs, I can't remember what the rules were but the loser had to eat a pickled egg

Each person has 3 coins, they put there hands behind their back and leave between 0 and 3 coins in their hand. Everyone takes turns guessing the total number of coins then the winner is eliminated from the next round.

Cribbage
Both of these. I'm from Devon and almost all village pubs had skittle alleys (a lot still do, loads of local leagues still going)
Three coin spoof ? Always used to either prompt a task or forfeit at the end (morning after for example - we used to do it in the office after a big night ti see who got the bacon rolls in)

Where are you from in Devon?
Nice to hear that skittles is still going strong in the West.
Yes, I remember now, he did say Spoof was played with coins.
Antiques Roadshow ?
Boringly 'mid' - Uffculme, a very small village a few miles from Tiverton. My parents (and my grandmother - 94 now) lived there all their lives. My brother in law still plays league skittles in and around Tiverton.
Nice county, i haven't been to Tiverton though.
