Old Pound Inn in South Somerset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Stayed in our Motorhome, couldn’t be better, free EHU, water available and toilets accessible 24/7. Dinner was great, staff fantastic and breakfast was lovely. The bar and restaurant are clean and welcoming. The owners likewise very good.

This pub has outstanding clean rooms with spotless bathroom, beds are very comfortable and clean and the room well decorated. Great menu in the restaurant along with some great beers. We left after having a full cooked breakfast which was excellent. I would highly recommend this place staff are very friendly

We came today for a family lunch, the staff were very welcoming & friendly! However we may have come on an off day, but the food was at best sub standard!

we'd been given a two-day break as a gift a couple of years ago and had only recently had occasion to use it.After looking at a multitude of options we chose The Old Pound Inn and what a brilliant choice.Our room was immaculate with all the facilities we needed,the staff were great and the food (we had dinner the first evening) was amazing and breakfasts were equally so.The village location was perfect for our exploration of Somerset.In all it was first class.....

Where do I start , staff very friendly really make u feel at home , Rooms beautiful & very clean Food stunning not had a bad meal , I was only here for one day , it was that great I stopped for a full week, fantastic place to stop eat or call for a drink , Thank you so much Carl

A great place for our family to stay on the way to Cornwall. Fantastic to have two adjoining rooms, super clean and plenty of room, fab shower too. Really friendly and helpful staff we had an evening meal and breakfast, they were more than happy to accommodate all our requests. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

Overwhelmed by the kindness and hospitality of the Landlords and the locals. 3 burly men needed affordable digs whilst working locally. The Old Pound Inn proved to be a gem. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left we felt at home. Old School Hospitality rarely seen these days.

Delicious food, freshly cooked and well presented. Great staff - friendly and helpful and whole place spotless. Worth the detour if not in the immediate area.

Friendly local pub, good atmosphere and usually busy with lots of events. We ate here quite a few times on our holiday and enjoyed everything we had. All home cooked and freshly prepared. Sunday lunch was lovely. Good beers as well.

Great pub in good location! Friendly and efficient staff and Licensee. Rooms cosy and spotless, good wide beds. As for meals - well - choice and presentation excellent. Good choice of real ale too! Have stayed before and will again Thoroughly recommended!

We had a 2 night stay this March, perfect for needs, as we wanted to visit the Clark Village and the RSPB sites located nearby. Food here is excellent, fast service and nice selection, bar drinks cater for all, loads of beers and Ciders. Nice restaurant for breakfast which certainly gave us a good start to the day. Room was just fine, and spotless, warm and cosy, bit tight for space in the bathroom but fine, huge bed was very comfy and clean. All the staff were very nice, even made friends with a couple or regular dogs. Thanks for a lovely stay, we will be back.

After a long walk on a cold grey day we really appreciated the warmth and comfort of our room. Spotlessly Clean and practical too with everything you could need. The friendly staff and locals only added to our experience as did the great value food. Would certainly return when visiting this area again.

Welcome very pleasant, room clean and practical. Superb breakfast - all for £60 !! We had 2 nights booked but could only do one. Not a problem for management - no charge - no complaints. We thoroughly recommend this pub hotel

Went for the burgers as great reviews, poor burger buns the size of 10p plastic cheese burgers ok but not 8oz s 50p charge if you wanted onions in burger I had Cajun chicken burger it was just a chicken breast in a bun Not worth the money disappointed I love coleslaw but to chunky not great if I’m honest

Visited Old Pound Inn with a group of friends from Somerton U3A. Very friendly staff and good choice of menu, will come again!

A group of 3 adults were travelling from Hampshire to a funeral near Bridgewater. We called in here for some lunch en-route and despite there being a large pre-booked group of walkers occupying the restaurant, the landlady greeted us cheerfully and ensured we all had a rapidly prepared lunch of quality, with a good choice of drinks available. We continued on our way fortified and arrived in good time for the funeral.

Went for a Sunday roast based on the glowing reviews, shocked to find some mediocre beef paired with poorly cooked frozen vegetables. Also no where near enough gravy on the dinner. Lastly the staff were lovely, although the locals not so much

I went for a meal here with friends. There is a decent menu of reasonable prices. I had the pie of the day with vegetables. Pleased to see all our meals were homecooking. Enjoyed the meal. The staff were polite and friendly. I would definaitely visit again when Im in the area, glad to have found it.

Nice people, attentive service, good choice of ciders and great food. What’s not to like? Oh, and the local folk seem to enjoy it too, judging by the numbers for a Tuesday afternoon. Always a good sign. We’ll definitely be back!

Fabulous pub with friendly and attentive staff, plus great food. Altogether a super Sunday Lunch. Many thanks

I have stayed in a number of 'compact' pubs in Somerset - places where the overnight fee is 60-something pounds, not 100-and-something pounds. For that you get a small room with a small bed. The Old Pound fits this category - but of all of...

Booked as a stop off on route to Cornwall. This turned out to be very basic accommodation. It was disappointing in every way. The bathroom needs complete refurbishment and the bedrooms need decorating. Beds extremely uncomfortable. Good in bar was not good and breakfast was...

Room very small but it's only for 1 night.The bed comfortable and a good shower.But there is a smell of fried cooking when you walk in.Staff helpful and friendly

Return visit to stay, amazing pub stop over. Incredibly welcoming. Enjoyed a great meal with dessert. I had steak pie and it was such a pleasure, packed with meat and plenty of flavour. We can’t wait to come back

We had an early supper here. Our daughter was well catered for, both with pencils and paper and a kids menu which had a good selection. Our food was hot, tasty and there was a fairly varied menu, nothing high cuisine but enough for all...

Friendly Service and amazing food on way home from a day trip to Weymouth! Steak was super and well priced.

Our family of 8 stayed at the old pound inn as a stop over on our way to Cornwall at the end of July we had 3 rooms between us that all were lovely, beds were comfortable. The pub had a lovely country feel to it we happily sat down most of the night and enjoyed a lovely meal, they have a great variety of ice cream which was lovely, they are also very dog friendly we had two dogs which also enjoyed their stay, Locals are all very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast in the morning was beautifully set out and cooked lovely, we had two other members of the family passing by on their way that morning and they Lady was very welcoming and allowed them to have breakfast as well even though they didn’t stay. Also we loved the great selection off books the bar has to offer which the proceeds go to charity. All in all o would happily stay their again 5* from us

We ate here one night because it was close to where we were staying. It was so good we booked for the next day too.The owner and staff were welcoming and very helpful. The menu is varied and everything we ate was well tasty and well presented.

Absolutely fab take out Sunday roast! Delicious. 🍽🥩🥦🥕🥔 And... I had enough veg left over to make a great vegetable soup!! 🍵

We were the only ones eating and still waited an hour for our meals. Steak and ale pie meat was burnt and dry, pasta and meat ball the meat ball were dry and the tomato sauce was watery. Chicken burger was dry and the fresh tomato was bad. Will not be returning..

We were visiting Somerset for a couple of days after Christmas 19 and came across the Old Pound Inn as somewhere at a reasonable cost with good reviews in the area we wanted to visit. Glad we booked. Very welcoming and friendly. Nicely decorated room and well designed bathroom. Under new ownership for the last 2-3 years and slowly updating the property but keeping sympathetic to it's age, being 16thC.Excellent breakfast and evening meal. Generous portions, well cooked and presented. Would stay again when in the area.

Went to the pound in for a family celebration, was a very warm welcome from the lady behind the bar. We decided to eat in the bar which when the fire got going was lovely and warm. We used our dine card and got 50% off of our food bill for 4 of the 6 people in our party which made it excellent value. Food was lovely and good portions . Would highly recommend a visit here, great food served by friendly staff and exceptional value.

This is a local pub that does food. The landlady was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant part of it is behind the main bar, slightly separated. There are only a few tables there so it's probably best to book in advance. The service is not fast but that is because everything seemed to be prepared to order. The food was good. We spent a pleasant and relaxed evening there. In these days of pub and restaurant chains this place was a good find. They take Tastecard too! There is parking available in the side streets. I would definitely recommend giving this place a visit

We have had a lovely evening at The Old Pound, I am lactose intolerant, and they catered for me brilliantly, I had a lovely steak with a lactose free peppercorn sauce, the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, there was even a choice of sorbet for pudding, this was not our first visit and it will definitely not be our last.

This was our first visit to The Old Pound Inn (we live in Leicester).We had a warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The menu is vast with something for everyone. Our party of 4 all had different meals, but presentation and taste was second to none. We definitely recommend a try and we would definitely visit again when next in Somerset.

Arrived late, kept the kitchen open for us. Excellent food, very reasonable price. Warm friendly reception. The BEST sticky toffee pudding.

Dog sitting for our daughter jules she suggested we try Sunday lunch here as Taffy has such a warm welcome from everyone and the food is excellant.... well we were not disappointed the we’ll be was warm, the food delicious and both pointers well catered for .... can’t rate this lovely village pub highly enough will defiantly be retuning thank you all ......

4 of us went for Sunday carvery, this was very nice .Such a choice of meat and vegetables,you could have as much of what you wanted as you liked.Friendly place .We went into the bar afterwards , quite busy too.

We decided to visit the inn as they accepted tastecards. Staff couldn’t have been friendlier, our dog was made so welcome with treats and a bowl of water. The food was amazing, huge potions and really tasty. Extremely clean and lovely little pub garden. Highly recommend

Excellent pub food and exceptional service. Will come back here as this is what you want from a pub. A very good example of why we must support local pubs.

I couldn’t find a menu on line so did not know what to expect and unfortunately there was nothing that appealed. They had a carvery but I have an aversion to buffet food. The waitress spoke with the chef and he said he could steam some cod with a cheese sauce. Liked the sound of the fish, so he offered me a final choice of hollandaise which I accepted, gratefully. My husband had gammon with all the trimmings. It was very much a traditional pub with rooms and certainly not a “gastro pub.” The service was good and the staff friendly, so not a bad experience at all.

The best roast dinner I think I have ever had - the beef was so tender and my partners pork had great crackling.

Service very poor we ordered from menu and carvery the carvery was plated for us 15 minutes before the rest of us got ours. Not asked if he wanted everything on his plate. The pineapple on our plates was cooked in alcohol and was discusting. We had a meercat app they would not do two orders for us so we got charged for all adults meals and just got the kids free, if we had two orders we would of been given three adults meals free. Not even asked if our meals were ok. Would not recommend this place to anyone

The service was good but the food was very poor. The roast of the day - beef - was clearly not sliced from a fresh joint, so was overcooked and tough. The roast potatoes were anything but roast potatoes and the yorkshire pudding was a limp chunk of goo! The vegetables were over cooked and appeared to have been reheated. The chicken breast (special of the day!) was very dry.

The website looks alright and most reviews on here are good. However, the pub is quite run-down, the furniture dirty (seat cushions etc.), the choice of ales is very limited (only Teignworthy and Butcombe) the food pretty terrible. I had food poisoning almost immediately after lunch in this place. The salad tasted old, slimy and dodgy, the baked potato foul. I did eat it because I didn't want to disappoint and embarrass a friend who had invited me here, but I wish I hadn't finished the meal. I tried the coleslaw but left 99% of it as it didn't taste fresh and had far too much mayonnaise in it. The service was friendly, but a bit slow. I definitely wouldn't go here again, not even to have a drink.

We really enjoyed a home cooked meal and was really impressed by the waitress. The next table asked about cider recommendations and the waitress brought out shots of the ciders available for them to trial, very thoughtful. The food was well cooked and very tasty, thank you Afro a pleasant evening.

Stopped here as we were passing.hoping we could get a Sunday carvery.we got a table and were not disappointed the carvery was lovely beef or pork,nice roast potatoes and about 6 different sorts of veg.the veg could have been a bit warmer.but I would definitely go back again the staff were very helpful and polite.

We came here for a family meal, a lovely menu choice and pudding choice too. Friendly staff who were ever so busy but still lovely and friendly. The pub is great as it’s only down the road, we will be back soon. Thankyou

A really good Motorhome stop with a lovely friendly welcome and really good home cooked food . We will be back 👍

This was the this time me and a friend met at this great old pub. Very good food reasonably priced and friendly service would definitely recommend

Starters of brie and smoked salmon pate. The brie was fresh and hand breaded, which is rare these days. Both starters were delicious and excellent portion size.

A very warm welcome from the lady behind the bar when we arrived. The food was excellent and the service from everyone was superb. A lovely atmosphere in a very friendly pub.

Definitely for pub lovers. Roaring fire, warm welcome form staff and good food. For a Thursday night the bar was quite full. The room was very nice and the bed was so comfortable.

Warm welcome, but the food was a total disaster as having read the reviews and so looking forward to a well-earned meal out what a huge let down that was!

We called in for a drink and the welcome was very friendly. We asked to bring our dogs inside, must be on leads, which should be a rule in all pubs! We didn't eat as we were training our dogs, but the food looked good and our dogs thought the free biscuits handed out to them were great. There were people eating, people coming in for a quick drink after work - great atmosphere a Proper pub!

We had Sunday dinner which was spot on. Pork and beef perfectly cooked as were vegetables and roasts etc in a nice dinning room . Good beer, pool table, football sometimes. Generally a good proper pub.

We were visiting a friend locally and decided on a spur of the moment lunch. We all thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Two of us had prawn cocktails, not the normal tiny prawns but loved big juicy prawns, beautifully presented. The Stilton, garlic mushrooms were also very tasty. My husband ordered a mixed grill.... How he managed to eat it all I don't know but again nicely presented and he said all the meat was cooked well. 3 of us has beef stroganoff which was served with fresh cauliflower and broccoli both cooked just how we like it not too soft and not too firm.

What a fabulous place to stay! We have had a lovely stay here over the last 3 days. My husband and I, and our 2 children, had the family room which was just lovely. It has a double bed and 2 singles which was just perfect for our family. We loved the feel of the 'local' pub with loads of friendly people in the bar that gave us lots of information of the local area There is an extensive menu including a children's menu and a specials board with loads of different things to choose from, we were really spoilt for choice. All the staff we came into contact with were just lovely and nothing was too much for them, they loved our children and made us all very welcome. We will certainly be coming again! Even the public toilets are lovely, which says a lot in my opinion!

Came to this area to visit some friends for a few days, was recommended the Old Pound Inn for accommodation. It was an excellent choice I was greeted by very welcoming staff, the food was wholesome, plentiful and very good value.The pub itself was nice and warm and welcoming with lots of old features, an open fire and exposed beams, they even allow dogs which is pretty much unheard of. I finished off my stay with a fantastic Sunday roast dinner and washed down with a nice cold beer. Room was a good size and all clean. Bed was very comfortable too. Bathroom facilities we good. All in all a very good stay and price to. Will definitely stay there again and highly recommend.

Met up with friends who we haven’t seen for a while so really looking forward to this meal. Very friendly, very old pub with a real fire in the middle of the bar. Our friends had booked on the understanding that we could have a table by the window and that the beef would be rare. Well our table, though allocated to us was occupied by other people. Many apologies and a choice of the remaining places sorted that hiccup ! The beef unfortunately was very well done so a bit of a disappointment, but the roast pork was a lovely alternative. Plenty of vegetables on offer including a very nice cauliflower cheese, however the cabbage and peas were swimming in water and had to be drained. The gravy was pleasant. The sweets were nice enough though I felt my Eton Mess could’ve done with more cream, ice cream and meringue and less tinned watery fruit. After our meal we went back to the bar for coffees, I thought they were excellent but our friends felt they were far too strong. All in all we really enjoyed our meal, made all the nicer by the very helpful friendly service both in the bar and the restaurant.

I took my mum for a Sunday Carvery and asked for pork and the pork was bleeding and when I...

A classic pub with a lovely fire in the centre. We spent New Years Eve at the pub and stayed over in the hotel area. I had a 3 course meal and everything was brilliant. The service was great - didnt even realise there was only one waitress at the time our large party was being served.

We visited The Old Pound Inn on a Friday night. The welcome was very warming like the pub - open fire burning in the main area. As we were dining we selected a table away from the main area away from people who were drinking and or watching the big TV.

Just returned from the pub having had a lovely meal. We had a great welcome and a choice of seating and chose the bar area with a real fire. The starter was prawn cocktail and big juicy prawns. Main course from the specials board of chicken and pork. Both delicious. I will definitely return.

The Inn offers a good selection of meals, something for everyone and a carvery on a Sunday. The food is all well cooked, the meals are a generous size and very tasty. I would recommend you try it.

We had a lovely overnight stay here - 2 adults and 2 children sharing across 2 rooms with a connecting door. The staff were all friendly, welcoming and accommodating. We opted to have an evening meal on arrival - great value, good sized portions and tasty food. Similarly, the breakfast options were perfectly suited to our family. Would recommend and would stay again. Only reasons for not being 5 stars are the bathroom was quite small (perfectly clean and functional) and the adult side of the room was 2 single beds (which we could probably have pushed together if we'd been so inclined). Worth the money.

So I've been working in Langport for past 10 days. The day I arrived at the old pound inn where I was saying for the duration of my stay to the day I left has been an absolute pleasure. Breakfast is tasty and the pub food they serve is delicious. The local people in the pub are so welcoming and make it feel like a real family pub. Can't wait to go back. For a B&b; Bedrooms are very clean and have all the requirements of a modern hotel. Highly recommend this place.

If you imagine a typical somerset village pub, you are pretty close to what you are going to find here.

I stayed here one Saturday night in September, on my way to Portland on business, I had a bad journey down with a major hold up on the M5 which mean't a diversion and the motorway being closed, which added a good hour onto my trip. The main point of this review is, When I finally got near to the pub, which was down country lanes, my sat nav was working well until I got to about a mile from the place, and I found the lane to it was closed and a diversion was in place, ok, here I go again, just what I needed, so, I followed the diversion one way, which after 6 miles disappeared, so I drove back to the lane diversion and drove the other way, same thing, no sign's, so, back to the first diversion, and I decided to ignore it and about 200 m beyond the road closure sign was a sign to say access the the Old Pound Pub!!, this put another hour on my journey, by which time it was knocking 10-0 pm.

Had read great reviews for the Old Pound so booked a table for my wife and myself but on the day discovered that the road from Langport to Aller was closed so we were forced to follow a not very well signed diversion so we were very glad to arrive at the wonderfully warm-welcoming establishment which was clearly very popular with local residents to judge by the number already in at 6.30 pm.

Arrived and looked a lovely place from outside. Close to the main road through the village but didn't seem too noisy. Showed to room, seemed nice enough size clean and tidy. Was a very hot day noticed air con unit searched for remote. Was told sorry recently installed no remotes. Offered a "desk fan".Left hotel booked into Travelodge at extra expense. Was only staying one night but if longer this would not be an ideal place in warm weather to stay.Decor outside rooms very dated. Pub food was alright. I wouldn't stay here again sorry.Contact with owner states air con not commissioned, no offer of recompense.

What a lovely pub. Popped in for lunch, everyone said hello, such a friendly place and the staff were great, finding out all the ingredients to check for allergies. The food was good, we all had the fish and chips, good sized portions. Would definitely recommend.

Hellingly CC W&G Cricket Team stayed here for 3 nights and we had an amazing time. The hosts Lea and Nigel worked so hard to make our stay enjoyable. The rooms were clean and the mattresses were so comfortable that ive now ordered one for myself at home. We arrived on the sat bank holiday weekend and there was a band playing that got us all into the party mood. Breakfasts on all 3 mornings were perfectly cooked and had a great veggie option. There was no problem in ordering extra toast or tea and coffee.As we were out everyday playing cricket they made us a picnic lunch to take with us which for the price was very plentiful and we struggled to eat it all. This pub has amazing food, very friendly hosts, clean and comfortable rooms and we have already booked to return next year for our tour.

Found this gem on a whim! What a lovely little place! Carvery was £9.95 and its truly amazing and the staff are also really niceWorth a stop! Comes very reccomended

The Old Pound Inn at Aller near Langport is well worth a visit. Excellent please with good friendly service.

Good beer and good food, used to hold meetings here and some members had bar food that always made me hungry...

Recently popped in for Sunday Lunch and would have no hesitation going back again.The pub changed hands earlier this year and only recently starting doing a carvary on Sundays 6 weeks ago (November ), I went on a recommendation and thought it was great.There were 3 roast meats to choose from and a very good selection of vegetables overall excellent value for money ,had a couple of desserts again very nice .The pub itself is in a small village just a couple of miles outside the town of Langport over the years it has been a bit hit and miss with food but based on this visit and from what locals are saying generally is definitely worth a visit .
