Halfway House in South Somerset

Called in for Sunday pub lunch, as on holiday locally. Nice choice of draft ales and ciders, had cider, local brew, Harry's. Recommended. Staff very polite and helpful. Free tastes of cider to help you choose. Fish platter was different and tasty. Scampi good too. Beef dinner little disappointing as beef bit chewy. Nice puddings. Reasonably priced with good service. Well behaved dogs welcomed too, inside and outside pub.

We were lucky that the weather was good and we were able to enjoy ourselves on the interior terrace while the children played on the slide.

Only had drinks. Lots of great beers and ciders. A classic country pub.

Wonderful, family run, CAMRA award winning, country pub. Large selection of real ales and ciders available, along with the most delicious, home cooked food. The ploughmans I had, has to be THE best one I've ever had. (And I've consumed many). Super friendly staff, large beer garden, dog friendly and well worth a visit.

The staff are very attentive. I would recommend booking a table as there can be a little wait if you don't. This should not be a problem as they have a lot of local ciders and beers to try why you wait. On my first visit I had the rump steak. Wich is the best rump I have had in at least 5 years. The home made chips are great. On my second visit I had the Caesar salad which was very good and the ploughman's was that good we took it home! I would highly recomend this establishment. If you are in the area pop in and try for yourself.

Typical English country pub, great beer and food with lots of outside space

We visited here for dinner this evening, a lovely old pub. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was great. And very reasonable. The chef went above and beyond to cater for my special needs daughter when the item on the menu she wanted had run out. Top marks all round. Returning again this week before we go home after our holiday. Couldn't rate this place enough.

Lovely old pub. Nice atmosphere. Good food. Dogs welcome.

A proper locals pub. Good food, excellent choice of real ales. Helpful and welcoming staff.

It's still a very traditional style of English pub, serving an extensive range of beers and ciders. Well worth the visit.

First time here, myself and my friend was trying to find a pub with a ploughman’s. This pub didn’t only deliver on service but also amazing food. We were welcomed as if we were locals, friendly chat with the staff who were knowledgable and attentive. We were promised a great ploughman’s that really delivered! The ploughman’s had a selection of tasty cheese’s, beautiful bread, amazing chutney, fresh salad, coleslaw and pickles. I enjoyed myself so much that I will be returning next week with my wife. I highly recommend trying this place but, have been told it is best to book.

Superb ales and very local ciders! Try the Harry's Scrummage! Lovely food.

I loved this place! Appears to be In quite an isolated position but in reality is near to small townships. A traditional pub. We had a very enjoyable lunch, tasty and good hearty portions went down well. They have an amazing choice of ales which I could not appreciate at lunchtime and places to go but another visit beckons. The owners and staff were friendly and helpful. We all would have no hesitation in returning.

Nice pub, good food served promptly, staff very pleasant and welcoming.

Brilliant pub, all beers straight from barrel & in excellent condition.

We no longer enjoy coming here for dinner, I'm afraid to say. The prices for the meals have gone up quite a lot, yet everything seems to have low-quality ingredients. There is not that much choice on the menu, either. This time the cottage pie was really fatty, it didn't have mashed potatoes on top (probably too much work), instead it came with almost raw slices of potato. The chicken burger was advertised as coming with chips, coleslaw and "salad", however, when it arrived, there was no salad on the plate. When enquiring about it, I was told it was part of the burger. Well, yes, there was a bit of lettuce and a small slice of tomato in it. Not how I had imagined it, though. We come here regularly, but in future we might just come for an ale and perhaps some chips - we'll get our proper food elsewhere after the last few experiences. What a shame.

This is a real pub selling real ale Lovely garden to sit in if you wish We had Sunday lunch Roast Beef and all the trimmings

Had a family meal for 9, the food was hot and delicious, and exactly as ordered. An excellent choice of beers and service with a smile. They couldn't have done more for us, and at a very reasonable price.

Beer lovers destination, just look at the list of real ales straight from the barrel. Just stopped for a pint whilst out cycling, will be back for food and more beer 🍻

It taking me a long time to get to this famous real ale pub sadly it was only a short visit I was very impressed with beer celection and the atmosphere of the bar, we will be back soon with friends and will try the food menu

What a disappointment! We booked a table for a family lunch to celebrate my husbands birthday. Service was very poor, actually nonexistent. We were told our table was "round the corner", we sat and waited to have our order taken. Once we realised everyone who arrived after us was getting their food, we realised that we had to order at the bar... would have been nice to be told that! The food selection was very limited, usual bar food with a few ordinary specials. I ordered a venison and chorizo burger, it was utterly tasteless. My sons onion tart he said was average. Best thing on our plates was the chips. Waitress staff were disinterested in any sort of customer service, no one asked if we had everything or was everything alright... nothing!!! Took ages to have our plates taken away and yet again we had to order pudding at the bar. When I went to pay...... at the bar!! , the bill was put in front of me to "happy"? No how was your meal?, or thank you for coming. For a pub with such awards we expected so much better. Oh and my pimms.... was so transparent I question whether there was any Pimms in it at all, Ive never had one like that.... Shame, I run a holiday cottage, I'm afraid you don't get my recommendation and we certainly won't be coming back again.

Great choice, a special menu. our lunch was wonderful, warm and filling. Lots of parking

Perfect for a birthday on a rainy day!

Brilliant drinkers & foodie country pub.

What a great pub. An impressive range of well kept beers. We were part of a large group having lunch. Set menu has great variety and there were a lot of other options on the Specials board. Gluten free is well catered for 👍 The food came out close together and everything looked great and I didn't hear any complaints. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Well done, hope to be back soon 👏

The benchmark for pubs everywhere. Perfect in every way!

Place was very busy but great atmosphere and lovely staff definitely be visiting again

One of the best draught porters I've ever had. Also the food was good and the welcome was outstanding. Family and dog friendly. Highly recommend this place. Venison and chorizo burger A+

Driven past many, many times and the Car Park is always chocca. The Ploughman's Lunch had been recommended so we decided we should "give it a go" First recommendation - BOOK A TABLE. We were lucky and got the last one. Very surprised at the Specials menu. Some great sounding food on there, but stuck with the reason for being there and we're not disappointed. Some excellent real ales from guest breweries to be had as well. Looks like I could well be a designated driver for a few sessions! Ploughman's was excellent. Very much enjoyed the Chutney. Great place a real gem on our doorstep.

Great country ale pub been going now and again since a teenager won camera ale pub of year numerous times Doubt find better anywhere

Lovely old world pub, warm, comfortable and welcoming. Service was quick, four of us ate, I ordered double Berger bacon and cheese with chips, unfortunately the two Berger's were over cooked and hard. I should have sent it back but didn't. Chips were wonderful. Would return again.

Lovely atmosphere and great staff.

What a lovely pub. Atmosphere, food, service, warm, friendly, beer, the list is endless. Fabulous 👌 xx 😀 Best roast dinner ever...and I'm fussy...

Proper pub with top people running the show and massive beer selection

Fantastic real ales, proper home made tasty food and super friendly staff.

Great Beer, service and ambiance 👍🍻

Very busy pub , good prices as well. Food looked good.

Lovely pub with great atmosphere and roaring fires. However, I had the beef stew this time last year and it was really good, so I ordered it again yesterday only to be disappointed as it was thin and the beef was fatty 🙃 I won't be ordering that again !

Great local pub, great beer and food. Service excellent.

Lovely and quaint. Lively energy. Food looked good but didn't eat myself

Proper local pub that welcomes drop ins.

Top British pub. Great beer and a lovely hut to stay in if you book early enough. Read lly friendly 👍

Absolutely loved this place. So cosy and heart warming.

Great traditional country pub with a fantastic selection of real ales and ciders, all livingly kept and served with a smile. Good selection of pub classics, well cooked at reasonable prices.

Decent pub grub but the main attraction is the great selection of good beers.

I went here for a work function and it was lovely. Beautiful pub with very good food, lots of choices. Staff was very nice and friendly. Definitely will return.

An absolute gem of a pub. Old world charm, good food and a spectacular selection of beautifully conditioned draft ales. An absolute must.

First visit lovely staff nice little garden Sunday roast nice ...clean and tidy

Best choice of ale's for miles always a good welcome

Always good a warm welcome & atmosphere

Lovely pub. Shame the kitchen was closed. Very atmospheric and cosy.

Menu was a bit limited but otherwise a very pleasant experience.

Lovely, friendly place. We didn’t have any food just popped in for a quick pint. But the food did look nice so we will try that next time.

Stopping the off chance glad we did. Nice simple food. Real ale great

Cute pub and beer garden. Nice food and good selection of beer and cider 🍺

Used to be an amazing pub, not so much anymore. Only food worth eating is the fish and chips. Had a roast here and it was absolutely dire. The veg was tasteless, cold and swimming in water like it had been microwaved and not drained, awful. That was the last time I ate there as it totally put me off.

Went for a drink and found a good selection of 8 real ales on tap. A classic country pub. We didn't eat there but the menu chalked up on the boards looked good, reasonably priced and many of the other customers were enjoying the food. I would be happy to return.

Had a bite to eat whilst staying in Pitney for a few days in August. Simple but good quality and reasonably priced food backed up by an excellent choice of ales. The bar staff were friendly and helpful and the decor is traditional and rustic. Highly recommended.

Excellent CAMRA pub. Beer is kept very well and a great selection straight from the barrel.

What a lovely hidden gem to just relax a few little things tables out back could do with an update poor condition. Food is unable to have as stopped at 2 but not a big deal as all country pubs are the same

Great local and seasonal food here, rustic and charming atmosphere and a good choice of local and national drinks.

Busy local pub, great welcome and lots of great beers. So great to see a bustling pub and the menu is great. Wise to book a table for dinner

Very friendly pub. Decent food. Lovely garden.

Great food and atmosphere as always. Staff are friendly and the service is quick.

Stumbled upon this place while looking for somewhere for a spot of dinner. An incredibly friendly welcome, lovely country feel and food was delicious. Well worth a visit

Great food amazing place and happy staff ,can't rate this place enough ,but make sure you book as always busy which speaks volumes.

Excellent beer and straightforward menu.

Lovely friendly bustling country pub, we visited twice whilst we were staying locally and it really has a great atmosphere and selection of beers/ ciders! We sadly missed out on the food but it looked great! Would recommend to all a fab place to relax and enjoy a couple of cheeky weekend beverages - we will be back and with the kids for sure they won't want to miss out on this little gem next time!!!

A fantastic Gem of a public house. Great beers, ales and Ciders as well as a great pub menu. A stone floored, benched seated traditional pub. Dogs welcome. And also do take out beers.

Went on Sunday for lunch. Not much choice for vegetarians but the tart was really good. Sunday pork roast looked great, everyone that had it said it tasted great too. Fantastic chips!

Absolutely fantastic food, drink and atmosphere. Really felt welcome and will definitely return when we come back to the area.

Good home-cooked food served after 630pm and drink selection, with spaces to park: the atmosphere was good and the food delicious.

Very friendly environment and welcoming staff. A good beer and food selection. A thriving place, with a big car park. Enjoyable.

Awesome selection of real ales. Food was really good especially the venison burger! Both me and the wife had a lovely evening out at a great price!

The best ploughman’s i have had , and i have had a few ,excellent cider .

Pleasant lunch time spent outside in the garden..

A proper country pub, friendly fast service, food with a smile, even the female very busy chef! A place you can take your grandma and not be disappointed! Very pleasant surroundings, complete with an enclosed beer garden.

My Mum and Dad’s favourite spot! They’ve been going here for years. The food is always top notch, and a good drinks menu!

This was my first proper country pub. It was and is, very busy. They serve a lot of food. It had a good atmosphere l. Well worth a visit

One of my favourite pubs. Great beers and atmosphere. Always popular. Friendly hosts.

Wow. What a find. Like Arnie. I'll be back

Happy busy place. Holds history. Welcoming and friendly.

Always a brilliant choice of ales and food consistently good. Take a cushion with you - all the benches and seats are hard wood! 😎

What a great find. Friendly service and delicious home made food. Beef chilli nachos were highly rated by my son and I had goats cheese, pepper and spinach tart which was very tasty. Also Harry’s cider from just down the road!

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Great welcome. Excellent food.

Great atmosphere. Very friendly. Good food.

Delicious Sunday roast! Highly recommended

Wow what a fine. Feels like a very local friendly pub. Would recommend booking, as when I was in the area visiting we only managed to get a table twice. Warm welcome. Cosy log burning country pub. Good selection of ales. Good varied menu. The food was delicious and not pricey. The best thing was it wasn't a chain run pub lacking atmosphere. This pub was oozing atmosphere! Wouldn't be to everyones taste of a pub, but if you're in the area it's a must visit in my opinion.

Best pub in the area. Great for local farmhouse cider, always got fresh ales on rotation, great food and the staff are always friendly. 10/10

Rude staff and not very friendly

Decent ciders and nice vibe especially when the fires are going

Great atmosphere at the time of visiting. A cool collection a workers.

A nice pub for a drink and a packet of crisps, apparently the food is good but there is no separate restaurant, so it's not for me, you eat with drinkers stood all around and its a busy place, even on a Wednesday evening.

Beer good. Fish and chips lovely. Faggots not good. Fish cakes dreadful. Staff friendly and nice. May not eat there again .quality of food has declined. .

A party of 16 called 21 Jan after booking and paying a deposit,we explained we were 6 minutes late because the roads were shut over the Somerset levels and had to go around. The barman just told us the kitchen was shut, although two reser ved tables were vacant the people.turned up at 2 30 and were served we have been before but will not be going again not the pub portrad on TV

Olde worlde charm, fantastic selection of beers and great food! What's not to like.

I've just seen my previous review of this pub, and somehow the review listed was what I had written about somewhere else. I apologise profusely for this, as it was unintended and undeserved (apologies to the staff and owners)! I've eaten here several times recently, and the food is good, the staff are great and the prices very reasonable in the current climate. Do go and try it.

We met up with family in the evening and although it was very busy the food was great as was the atmosphere.

Proper local pub. Great selection of beer and has won awards from Camara. Got chatting to some locals and people who had travelled much further. Highly recommended.

Popped in for a drink. Lovely trad pub, open fire, and NO music, just people chatting.
