Ivy Kitchen in Mendip

Didn’t have the pleasure of staying here. However they hosted a baby shower for us, providing 17 of us with afternoon tea and the attention to detail was amazing. From beautifully smelling candles and flowers everywhere to polite, kind staff. The afternoon tea was superb, more than enough food, beautifully presented and very tasty. Maryanne herself was so accommodating and very friendly from the first enquiry. Perfect venue.

Family recommended the Fish and Chips from here. It’s clear why they won an award, beautifully cooked fish and (slightly too big) chips. 😊

This is a great friendly pub, the food is traditional pub food, tasty. Been there twice now, beef stew with dumplings first time and roast dinner the second time, great selection of puddings too. A return visit next month, table already booked

Owner is there, at the desk .. it’s rare now but it’s clear she cares a lot and is taking a series of steps to make the most of a historic and charming hotel - how many are left which are privately owned?! I had room 108 which was cute and comfy with iconic little views from two windows. Noticed a good sized outside area and the free parking was useful so centrally located in Shepton M. Price was very reasonable for a couple of nights stay. I didn’t eat at restaurant so can’t say how that was but would stay again if in area - so easy to nip down road to Glastonbury and enjoy the Tor views on the way.

A friend of mine needed to use the toilet due to an issue she needed to sort out and we aren’t from Glastonbury so didn’t know our way around. Some random girl behind the counter with an arm splint forced us to leave bc we weren’t ’paying customers’ even though we were literally going to get food after we had been to the loo?? Screamed at us in front of customers and had a nasty attitude…embarrassing for her really. Even went outside and watched us for some reason?? She needs a shower and to rethink the way she talks to people in ‘her’ cafe. Don’t recommend personally.
