Coopers Mill in South Somerset

Amazing place. Always get such good service here. 3 out of 4 of us wanted a jacket potato, which is on the menu as a side, not main, but Darryl was happy to do us jacket potatoes as a main with beans,cheese and side salad.. also the pub only has coke on tap but Darryl kindly gave me a Pepsi from his own stash in replace of the coke (I’m not a coke fan)… Darryl, you are the best!

Very friendly and welcoming pub. What makes it even better is they make the effort to make sure my little one is all catered for too! Bring the highchair to the table, talking to her throughout and providing entertainment means for an enjoyable meal for all three of us! Proper pub grub too! No wonder we've visited twice this month already!

Thanks Michael for looking after us at lunchtime. Our Steaks this time were not the usual standard ( different staff in the kitchen) ????? I should have said at the time but we needed to get on the road...we had a long journey infront of us. But, again Michael thanks for your kind attention. L

Staff are so pleasant and friendly! Food was also amazing.

Enjoyable lunch served with smiles. CAMRA friendly.

Such a friendly place to eat - just me and my dog! Food exceptional and everyone so kind and friendly . Will definitely be back

I recently visited Coopers Mill and was thoroughly impressed by the experience. From the moment we arrived, Manager Darrell ensured we felt welcome and well taken care of. He was attentive and personable, making sure every detail of our visit was perfect. The food was outstanding, thanks to Chef Danielle, who brought creativity and skill to each dish. Every course was beautifully presented and delicious, with flavors that truly made an impression. It's clear she has a passion for her craft, and it shows in the quality and taste of each plate. Overall, Coopers Mill is a fantastic place to enjoy a memorable meal. With excellent service from Darrell and exceptional food from Danielle, it’s a spot I’d highly recommend. Looking forward to my next visit!

V friendly staff amazing food and the BEST ONION RINGS IN YEOVIL

Have previously been as visit from Frome to family in Yeovil. We do like the senior menu as portions suit us but was told after our last visit that the senior menu would be changing in September but that has not happened. Would be nice if there was more variation. Sure you would get many more ‘seniors’ visiting as enough food and good price.

Updating my review after yesterday! I had an excellent Turkey roast and definitely the best roast dinner I've had in a pub this year! In fairness, the food is generally pretty good (with the Katsu curry being top notch!). Decent for watching football and they allow dogs too😉!

My dad suggested a lunch meet here as it was close to him. I must admit I was sceptical as I usually prefer an independent pub but I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed. Our servers Darren and Victoria were extremely welcoming and looked after us impeccably. I chose the seafood and chorizo risotto which was delicious and excellent value. The rest of our party enjoyed their meals too including one diabetic who had as much of the sugar removed from her dessert as they possibly could. Well done guys, keep up the good work!

Lovely food lovely servers, Served by Dylan and micheal and very happy and chatty, Will return. Lovely hot food and so much choice for lunchtime.

Efficient and friendly service.Good food and good value.We can recommend the chicken and ham pie,pesto schnitzel, gammon steak and lamb shank.We were a party of 7 and were looked after well by the manager Darryl.The pub needs a refit, especially the toilets, but it was comforable. There was football on the tv but where we were it wasnt intrusive.

Brilliant food, great atmosphere with the football on. Highly recommend

Outstanding service and food today. Special thanks going to Darrell for his humour and Jacob for squeezing us in at short notice... The lamb shank particularly worthy of a little extra praise 👏...

Ate here twice over the last week. Last Sunday we popped in and had a Sunday lunch. Two roast turkey meals and you could add extras if you wanted. They gave us loads of meat and the veg was plenty on each plate. Didn't have pudding as we were stuffed. We returned again later in the week and had some of the meal deals that were good value. The Mrs had halloumi and chips and I had one of the burgers and chips..both were perfect and cooked just how we liked it. Burger was really tasty and the chips were just right. The service was spot on Both occasions and staff very accommodating.

It was my first time going to Coopers Mill and we will definitely return. Michael who served us was very attentive, informative and friendly.

Great food, great pints and brilliant friendly staff, best pub in Yeovil

Fantastic sunday roast highly recommend

All staff we encountered today were really friendly, the service was quick and the food was great value wise 👏🏻👏🏻

This is my local and I’ve never thought to write a review until now; the staff are more like friends at this point, they’re so friendly and welcoming, always make your visit special, I cannot fault the place. I’ve come here for years for the sports they show and the prices. Absolutely brilliant. Big shout out to their manager Darrell & the rest of the staff; Victoria is absolutely lovely aswell as Josh, Dan is an absolute character aswell. We all have a laugh. Pop down to coopers, brilliant place to be. Thankyou xxx

Always good food, nice atmosphere and good prices

Friendly staff, never had a problem with the food and the service has always been prompt.

Great food and even better to eat it while watching the football 🍻🍔

Another fantastic meal here....wife had hunters chicken, which was piping hot and tender...the katsu chicken equally as hot and tender....and a bonus free pud as it was the wife's birthday...will definitely be back k.

I had the new Swiss burger with Swiss cheese and mushrooms. Very nice! Good food overall, good deals. Quite busy for 3.30pm but not too slow.

Kind of what I expected, I went for the BBQ chicken sandwich, it was a little sad, rather over done fried chicken and not a lot of BBQ going on. A friend had sticky toffee putting and enjoyed it. Like the ability to order through your phone. Service was good, pretty quickly delivered drinks that were ordered. It's not a bad spot and I hope I just chose a dud meal.

if i got rate higher than 5, i absolutely would! i contacted coopers about a week before the event and asked if they could cater for 22 people! within a matter of hours, the manager had gotten back to me and confirmed they could do this and only asked for preorders. all communication with the manager was responded to in a matter of hours everytime and they went above and beyond to make this surprise meal perfect for our friend. they allowed us to come in early to set up decorations, managed to sit us all on one table in the restaurant area and were super attentive all evening. this is the second time we have used coopers mill for a large party and we would all return time and time again. the evening was seamless and the staff beyond brilliant. thank you so so much for everything!

Place has changed a bit since I last visited 30 years ago. First, it’s cleaner! Second, all the staff seemed friendly and sober! That said, I hardly ever give 5 stars to a restaurant unless their food is orgasmic. 3 is fair. I had the beef pie and it was disappointing - tasty enough but ZERO carrots, peas, potatoes etc in the filling. It was just a few beef chunks and a lot of gravy and crust. Tasted fine but lacking also came with a side of gravy. So A LOT of gravy. Otherwise, it’s an ok place and at least it’s not a place where you get glowered at just for walking in the door.

Not quite sure where the cheese was on my cheesy chips but more concerning is the doors in the women’s toilets have holes in for anyone to look straight through! I stuffed my toilet door with loo roll, one of the other doors have had the hole filled however 3 out of 4 were not! They have posters on the doors about safety but surely this is safety too? The toilet door locks are absolutely appalling also!

We had a lovely meal this evening, both dishes were delicious and jacob and micke were attentive helpful and polite. Great service

One of Yeovil’s best pubs, good atmosphere and entertainment. Staff super friendly, food nice and reasonably priced.

Booked a table turned up bar staff friendly was told someone would be with us in a minute or so 25 min later still no one came to take our order table next to us had been waiting 45 min for food when it came out was wrong

Being a whinging old sod means I gripe more over lesser things, does this however guarantee a more in depth review...well, we shall see on that one. So, at 43 I decided it was about time to do a solocation without the fruits of my loins, and the partner I don't have. As expected, long, unbroken drives aren't the most pleasant things, especially when you factor in the motorway neanderthals....I digress. Pulled up at the Coopers Mill into the car park next door as I wanted to see what all the fuss was about regarding Yeovil Country Park....less said about that the better, a 2 hour walk took 5 because I have the world's worst sense of direction.. After being shredded to bits by Yeovil's wonderful countryside, I nipped into Coopers Mill for a cheeky cider and a bite to eat, it is thoroughly modern and inviting, the staff were 'bend over backwards' friendly and ordering was simple (thank goodness). I plumped for the bacon and beef burger which took around 15 minutes to arrive (there weren't many people in at 15:30) and it was as nice as the cider I had (sorry, can't advertise). The only gripe I had which was beyond the pub's control was a loud mouthed family (more the father than anyone else) who obviously never got taught how to be when around other people..

Stopped by for lunch whilst on holiday. Typical pub (chain is Greene King) food properly cooked. Polite and helpful staff. Reasonably priced. Had our dog with us, which was no issue, water bowl provided without asking. Only points of note, parking nearby is changeable, parking in pub is free, register at the bar, women's toilet doors need new locks, none lockable also glasses dishwasher needs overhaul as glasses could have been cleaner.

Michael and Beth were excellent and very accomodating to our big family group. Good meals and drinks. Thanks

Love all the staff! Food is amazing 👏 only negative is the woman's toilets, the doors have been broken for months, they definitely need fixing ASAP! This is how woman have to pee.. you'd have a more privacy, less stress of a wee going ioutdoors in a bush. Definitely needs attending soon.

Great family visit but missed salad bar

Popped in with our grandson for lunch - lovely food,great service from Penny &Little Beth.👍🤩

Our waitress Summer was delightful, Service was great Food was delicious.

Had a roast and pudding and was 10/10 and good value for money and lovely staff and highly recommend will be back

Great pub. Always a good place to go catch up with friends and family. We enjoy the atmosphere especially when the football is on

Friendly great service from Penny

Nice pub ,short walk from the Manor.Good food and good ales.

Stopped here on way home from Cornwall for some dinner. Really disappointed with my food. Husband had gammon which was fine but my fish and chips was awful. The fish was either reheated or very overcooked. Really chewy and dry. Quite a lot of loud groups there but it was a Friday evening so we probably should have expected that. Just wanted a relaxing meal in the sunshine to end our holiday

Had a really good lunch at Coopers Mill in Yeovil served by Michael who is an excellent employee and was working really hard, very busy.

Great choices of good solid pub food and well kept beers. Perfect for a family group and right on the edge of Yeovil Country Park. Michael and Dylan worked hard to make sure we had everything we needed, even going to great lengths to find some butter for one of our party.

Lovely meal tonight at Coopers Mill, delicious food and excellent service from Michael, very friendly and attentive.

Went for Sunday lunch. Which was very nice. Had to wait a while for it to arrive but was nice. The service was good but unfortunately painfully slow. We ordered desserts and 40 minutes later they still hadn’t come out. In the end we cancelled them and left. Nice place and food just need to hurry your service up.

Yet another great day out with my wife and friends we all had the seniors three course meals with fizz we also were aloud to bring our dog

The food was great the server micheal was kind and quick even got to try a new ale which was amazing also the food was perfectly cooked had no issues with food or service

We enjoyed our meal very much. The desert was delicious

We popped in on the off chance, as passing while on holiday. Made extremely welcomed by Micheal and his team. The atmosphere warm and friendly and the service was quick and efficient. Environment was clean and uncrowded. The food was generously portioned and well cooked. Our dog was also extremely split too. Could see other guests were enjoying themselves as well. It's a shame we are not local, otherwise, I'm sure we would be regular visitors.

Come in to watch the euros game , staff was super friendly , we had table service and found this so much better than waiting at the bar, staff kept checking in to see if everything was okay and seeing if we needed anything which was lovely , had chicken strips and nachos to share and was really good, thank you to the staff for being friendly with great customer service.

I booked in advance and paid a £10 deposit £5 each for my son and myself. On arrival I asked for our table and the lad behind the bar pointed to a smallish round table right in the middle of a crowd of people all sat around watching football with 3 people actually sat at the table. I looked at the lad but he didn't move until I asked him if he could ask the people sat there to move as I had paid for the space but when I walked over one of the people sat there was about 10 years old and I felt guilty and told his dad it's OK leave him there and I had to sit on the seating that goes around the wall so to speak and after ordering our food as I tried to eat at the table but ot was silly as the table was too far from me to eat comfortably so I ended up putting the menu and my meal ON MY KNEE to eat. I was very unimpressed that I had to actually pay a deposit for the table to have to end up sharing it and eating like I was sat in a living room This was unacceptable and very disappointing. The staff were great mostly apart from one girl who seeing me stood there totally ignored me and served what seemed to be her regulars. Another lad served me but I was annoyed at the time and let him know but I apologised and told him it wasn't personal. Overall very disappointed as it seems like i was pretty much the only one who paid a deposit (after asking a few customers who were mainly people who had just finished work knew nothing about deposits so thanks for that coopers mill) for my son and myself to eat. Good service terrible experience! 23/06/24 Since leaving my last review I was contacted by Daryl and he was very helpful. As mentioned I didn't really review the food which was actually very good so much so my son who was with me wants to go back to coopers mill for his birthday because he loved the katsu curry chicken. He's portion was massive and I didn't think he would eat it all but he did not bad for a 10yr old. I look forward to going back which quite honestly I didn't think I would but after my interaction with Daryl he was really set on putting things right and that's all I could ask

Took Dad for Sunday lunch for Father's Day. The food looked great but the meat was terrible, all fat and gristle. Very disappointing.

The food was very good great service micheal and Darrell is very nice to see him again can't wait to go back again

Had a meal here today and it was great. I have to say the staff here are lovely, the two young ladies that were working today were so friendly and helpful. We also come here often for the Thursday quiz night which is run very well and is an enjoyable evening.

We went for a pint and they had outdoor seating. They were very nice

We always have a lovely meal here, the staff are really friendly and helpful. They make me feel as though my dietary requirements are no problem at all and the food is excellent for the price. Particularly stand out staff are the Dylan and Michael, nothing is too much for them and are a credit to the place.

Michael was amazing and the team. There were 7 of us including 2 toddlers wanted some food after a busy day called up and asked for a table and once we arrived it was all set up ready. Food was lovely and hot. Great food selection for kids and adults. Good deal for kids too. Lovely atmosphere. Would definitely go there again.

Our first visit to Coopers Mill and am very sorry I did not visit sooner. So many options to choose from Will be our place to eat out from now on.

Was staying in town for a few days & came here for our dinner. Michael who served us was very lovely and informative. Food was great will stop by again if we come back to town! :)

Often eat at this yeovil pub. We normally go for the two for one menu which is excellent value. The katsu chicken being my favorite. Staff are very friendly and helpful. We prefer the quieter side of pub as can get a bit noisy when busy. Decent family pub Cooper's mill.

Only 4 star 🌟 for food as I found the wholemeal focaccia a bit dry, 4 for atmosphere as it was lunchtime and quiet, service excellent and staff friendly and engaging , would recommend and happily revisit

Went in late for a sunday roast, think everything was cooked yesterday as the freshest item on the plate was the veg, the pigs in blankets or pigs in face cloths I should say were about as shrivelled and dry as a pensioners willy, service was unmentionable but not bad, think I most enjoyed the music along side the meal. Hopefully its better earlier in the day but I wouldnt bother coming in the evening.

Really enjoyable evening, helpful and efficient staff, food was nice and service didn't take long. Nice place. Will definitely return again.

Great friendly service and tasty food!

Service good food prices fair place clean

I visited this place four nights running whilst I was showing my engines at the nearby steam fair as I had done last year and again I enjoyed every evening.Friday had karaoke which went down well but no other entertainment was seen the other nights.No doormen and no trouble either apart from the two alcoholic women refusing to leave on Saturday but they were dealt with firmly by the barstaff.In all honesty it was quite entertaining.I didn’t have food so can’t comment on that,I only sampled the Guinness which was spot on.Good work ladies and gentlemen of the Mill,your pubs a good un

Food was great with the staff excellent and Dylan even making sweets for us even after the kitchen had closed. Thanks..

Looking for a place to grab a bit to eat with parents and found this little gem of a pub, with Great food and great service from our server Dylan

Great place, staff always friendly and happy to help, very clean, disabled facilities best I've seen, one downside, menu is a little limited, I can't eat salad, no teeth, and intensely dislike rosemary, but I will be back,bblooking forward to it, and being served by the lovely Micheal and crew

Had brilliant service today. Food lovely and hot and cooked well. Michael was behind the bar and bought our food over.. food was very tasty. And the foccacia bread was amazing a**** for service and food today gents. Well done

Great food and staff. Dog friendly is always a winner for us

What a great pub this is. Great food, good prices, and most important of all, a really good and friendly atmosphere. I live in Taunton, and would really love to have a pub like this near me. Ticks all the boxes! Thoroughly recommended. James Glowing Stoves

Chicken was dry and stringy. Would not recommend ordering the hunters chicken

Nice pub, but some rowdy customers...

Myself and 7 other female friends went to this pub last evening (25th April) we were all very pleased with our tasty meals and desserts. We had pre booked a table and believe normally meals have to be ordered at the bar, however one of the bar tenders, Michael, kindly came and took our order, a very friendly guy with nothing being too much trouble. The female member of staff who served me at the bar was also friendly/efficient (unfortunately don’t know her name). We had a lovely evening and will definitely return.

Popped in to this nicely decorated pub for a Christmas drink and to watch football on TV. ( West Ham won yay !)Had a chat with the very friendly and helpful staff and ended up ordering roast dinners which were really well cooked, generous in portion and amazing value for money. Will definitely return.Best pub in Yeovil.

Food was acceptable, service really really poor, considering we were sat in the "restaurant" the music was very loud, we had to shout across the table at each other. Makes you think twice.

Great food, lovely staff who were very clean & welcoming. Would absolutely recommend for quick meal with friends & family.

First time here. Staff and food were very good. Also the old fashioned is perfect

Not amazing, but not terrible. Food was pretty slow to come out and fairly average, but can't fault the service staff. Really friendly and attentive. We had a couple of issues and they sorted it quickly and compensated us without even questioning it. Definitely willing to go back and give them another shot.

Lovely food with generous portions and very tasty, staff extremely helpful and polite. We were surprised at how nice it was to be honest. Definitely recommend.

I had never been here before but thoroughly enjoyed myself with my family. The food and staff were great and would definitely visit again. As places go quite good value.

Great friendly social atmosphere. Bar staff attentive and warm. Would recommend as a single shy customer. Great chips too!.

Took my dog for a walk ( it was very muddy) but they welcomed us without hesitation.

Very nice meal. Both dishes tasty and better than expected (lamb shank main). Good service from Jade

Lovely night. Dylan was so friendly and helpful from the start! He warned us of a wait for our food which was really appreciated. The food was lovely and the staff was really kind.

I always have great service here! I got served by Michael yesterday, he was attentive and efficient. Thanks team.

We came here for lunch as we saw they had a couple of veggie options on the menu. I ordered the mushroom pie with chips which was quite nice. Decent size too and the chips were good. My husband had the veggie burger which he enjoyed, again the chips were nice. We ordered the veggie sausages with peas and beans for our baby. The sausages were rock hard and very dry (literally struggled to even cut them). We asked for a replacement which was quite straightforward and the staff were very kind about it and polite. They actually replaced his whole meal which was kind. Atmosphere was fine, toilets were okay. The table was a bit wobbly an annoying and when I wiped it for my son to eat at the wipe was very dirty so that was a bit gross but otherwise kind of what you expected at a family pub. One thing which was alarming was how hot the plates were when served. Fine for adults but the waiter put a piping hot plate down in front of a 1 year old baby. I had to quickly move it away. It did have a good kids menu and was dog friendly.

We were served by Darren and he was amazing. Took an interest in us as people, was very accommodating, chatty and made us feel welcome. Will definitely be returning, purely because of him!!

Very good food, plentiful and well presented. Very friendly staff, at all levels 😊 Excellent choice of beers and ciders, about average now in price. Can sit inside, large TV screens available for football and other major sporting events, attractive layout and some period features. Very attractive and welcoming outside beer garden and outside service is as equally good as inside the pub. My local pub, I'm only 4 minutes walk away, and good walks in the neighbouring Nine Springs Nature Park are to be found literally minutes away from the Cooper's Mill pub. I'm delighted that I have finally found a perfect local pub closeby! 👍

Lovely Sunday dinner, excellent customer service. Didn't arrive until 6pm, still provided 3 gorgeous beef dinners. Put hubby's and daughters dinner under the warmers when she needed the bathroom. Friendly staff checking we're happy throughout, couldn't do enough.

Lovely lamb shank roast looked as good as it tastes. Also tasty large steak and ale pie with chips and gravy. Michael was very helpful bringing drinks to our table. Food was very well priced for the generous portions and presentation. Atmosphere was relaxed and friendly :)

Had great customer service by michael at the bar. Come back just for that. Had a bad pint and he sorted straight away. I Had been in last week and Michael saw me and my family and knew what we all had to drink. That a sign off a good bar person.

My son took me and my husband here for Mother’s Day, had a brilliant meal and staff couldn’t have been more congenial. Will definitely return soon

Food great ,very large portion served hot ,staff very friendly especially Darrell, we were on holiday and will definitely return when in the area.
