Oscars Wine Bar in South Somerset

cannot fault Oscars food and service brilliant staff are always friendly and always a brilliant atmosphere not our first time here certainly not our last

We called in for lunch and my wife chose lasagne and I the steak and kidney pie The servings were huge and probably the best home cooked steak and kidney I have ever had out. Served with pan fried veg and new potatoes it was excellent The lasagne was really good served with chops and salad We couldn’t eat any more as we were full. Excellent value for money. Friendly and quirky surroundings.

Very disappointed didn't have pie had lasagna burnt on bottom supper market chips friend had steak so hard over cooked then only one pudding on menu would not go again

A lovely, old building in the heart of Crewkerne, this wine bar used to be an antique shop. Exellent service from all of the staff and good quality home cooked food. We sat outside in the courtyard, a rustic area. I can highly recommend.***** star

we arived a bit late but the staff were very pleasant and helpfull and our the food was first class and excellent service will deffinately be returning again soon I hope

Gorgeous Sunday lunch, so much food! Last minute booking and staff were amazingly accommodating, keeping the kitchen open until we arrived. Lovely atmosphere, we will definitely return.

Visited with my daughter for my birthday. Lovely little place, friendly with a nice atmosphere. Decided not to have a starter as we could see the portion sizes in front of other diners! I had the Lyme Bay Scallops served with roasted veg and new potatoes whilst my daughter chose the lasagne served with chips and a salad. Food was plentiful, delicious and reasonably priced. We were advised by locals to go back to try the Sunday roast! Would recommend and visit again.

Lovely atmosphere. Comfortable seating. Friendly, efficient and thoughtful staff - garlic bread was brought for people not having a starter, for example. Great classic food, and good-value wine, uniformly priced. Perfect evening out.

There was around 20 of us and we had the Xmas menu. It was amazing. We had 2 whole turkeys, a huge bit of pork and a few other dishes with all the trimmings. Great desserts and service. Highly recommend.

Had a wonderful meal last night at the famous Oscars Wine Bar in Crewkerne. This was its first night opening for food again following the pandemic, and I have to say that it was just as lovely as it has always been. Oscars, with Richard at the helm, offers such a welcome and relaxed atmosphere. The food is excellent and the staff are lovely, along with great prices and a good menu choice. Richard, so wonderful to have you back up and running again. Long may it continue!

Monday night in staying in Crewkerne, out of 4 pub/restaurants 2 were closed, another not serving food, the only other one fully booked, we looked like going hungry but the lovely manager in Oscars made us welcome and said we could bring in takeaway food if we were having a drink there. Nice bar, cosy atmosphere, good wine at very reasonable prices. He even gave us cutlery and napkins. Their own menu, served Wednesday to Sunday, looked great and if we are ever in Crewkerne again, we would definitely go for it.

Love this place. Always a warm welcome. Interesting but friendly locals, always enjoy our visits. Really hope you're able to bring back food soon!

A fab place for a drink in the outside courtyard or inside. There’s a wood burner outside in the covered area so perfect at this time of year. Taking their Covid responsibilities seriously, the landlord and staff are very diligent and there are clear processes in place To protect staff and customers. Well worth a visit if you are in the area. I have eaten here a number of times, lovely local food and great portion sizes. Landlord often has entertainment eg funfair type games, candy floss machines, pancakes etc going on usually for free!

Murky place. The clientele was mainly farmers in muddy wellies and what seemed to be 75+ regulars. Chef was drunk and took 1,5 hrs to cook our food. Food average.

Called into this bar for lunch decided on beans on toast and a pint a large plate appeared with toast butter and a large salad and bowl of beans must have been a whole tin what a treat it was beer was excellent as was the service reasonably price too certainly worth a visit

Went here late last November for a Sunday dinner with my parents and kids when we'd had a big day out at West Bay and couldn't be bothered to cook. What a pleasant surprise! I always have reservations about Sunday roasts in pubs and restaurants, as they never seem to quite get it right. Be it overdone meat, non-crunchy roast potatoes or anaemic veg, there always seems to be something.But in fairness to Oscar's, this is one of only two places I've encountered (the other being The Water Poet in Bishopsgate, London) which makes a roast as close to your mum's as you're ever going to get. Combine that with a welcoming interior and very decent wine, and you're onto a winner. Well done, Oscar's!

I visited on a Weds eve with family friends. Although a little quiet the owner/chef provided some entertainment with pancakes for all diners (very nice they were as well). The food was excellent value and the portions might actually satisfy my teenage son. Overall an enjoyable evening and as good as previous visits.

Just visit this establishment for yourself & you won’t be disappointed in any way , great food ,ale & service couldn’t have enjoyed our visit anymore than we did!. First class well run business keep it up , not many places left like this nowadays.

Sunday lunch - choice of chicken/beef - big bowls of veg - couldn’t be better. Both roasts cooked perfectly.

We came here with a friend for a Sunday roast as we had been told it was good.Wow....Huge , perfectly cooked meal,love the way it was brought out on a platter.And love the fact that you are encouraged to take your leftovers home.Had a lovely roast beef sandwich for tea!Staff are always friendly,and there's a good laid back atmosphere.Can't wait to return.

Excellent food, good choice and very happy atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely go again

Love this little gem, don’t be afraid to venture in. Lovely atmosphere, all staff have a can do attitude. Drinks, food and service fab. We will be back to try more of the menu.

Oscars is in an old building with vibrant red walls, low ceilings and carved beams. Just after Christmas we didin't think it would be busy but there were several booked tables.Good atmosphere - many of the customers knew each other & the staff and there was a buzz about the place.We ordered a squid salad & a mackerel with new potatoes & vegetables. Wow! What platefuls! Huge, colourful, really tasty, well cooked & well presented.Thank you, it was a great meal.

We have visited Oscars Wine Bar on many occasions. Our favourite is Sunday lunch which we cannot fault. The big attraction is that the quality and quantity of the food is always the same. A generous amount of food is served on hot plates and dishes - all the food is piping hot which is very rare these days. Staff are attentive with Jackie at the helm. Crewkerne is so lucky to have this small pub with a great Sunday lunch. Thank you Richard. Booking is normally necessary.

Visited here with the girlfriend on a long weekend away, locals advised of the portions being massive and the staff friendly, both these were true and i could not flaw it.

My friend and I popped in for some food after watching the football in Yeovil. And this place certainly cheered us up!

great place for a meal and atmosphere the food was to die for steak was cooked just right and the scallops, yum yum couldn't fault anything with this place thank you

A group of 8 of us booked what we hoped would be a celebration of England rugby win

Came for dinner while staying in the area. The staff were friendly and the food was lovely and large portions. The place had a lovely atmosphere and was quite busy which is a good sign I think.

We'd highly recommend a meal in Oscar's Wine Bar if you're staying in Crewkerne. We had an excellent dinner there, the portions were very generous and the menu was varied. The staff were friendly and helpful and the whole place had a quirky cosy feel.

Been coming here regularly for the last 6-7 years. Lovely little pub with great food.. enormous portions. You can always guarantee a warm welcome and a full tummy on departure.

For value, excellent food and good service.

Thank you so much for a fantastic evening, the quality and quantity of the food was exceptional and the staff could not have been more helpful. There were seventeen of us and we are all coming back to sample more dishes from the menu. Excellent value.

You just can’t beat a Sunday roast dinner at Oscars! The food was delicious as always, highly recommend

As one of several who have lunch regularly at Oscars, I was astounded to read that Alex was criticised, and by name. Alex is quiet, elegantly dressed and a beautiful young woman who knows her job and she does it well.All members of the bar staff are competent and follow the continental practice of keeping a "tab" of customers' drink and food orders then presenting the bill as they leave. Alex was not giving away drinks. Oscars is lucky to have her.

If you fancy a ploughmans and cider, this is the place to be! Huge plate of brie, cheddar, stilton, pate, pickled onions, tiny gerkins, salad, crisp French bread, butter and as for the cider, Thatchers haze. Ice cold. What more could you want on a sunny somerset day. Bliss. Thanks Oscars.

I believe from listening to the locals calling her, the name of this young lady is Alex. Rude is not the word and certainly not looking after the owners bar as she should and does not want to take bookings over the phone and I witnessed her giving drinks away to locals.

After a 22 mile hilly cycle circuit of Crewkerne we had trouble finding anywhere open for a 2.25 late lunch. As soon as we opened the door and entered Oscars rather dark cosy interior we suspected we’d found a gem. It’s a unique crazy and colourful place, very quirky. Feels like a pub but acts like a coffee stop/restaurant/wine bar, full of obviously local characters and their friendly dogs. It’s eccentric but has a superb menu. Husband had the biggest and best Ploughman’s we have seen in years served on a huge platter and I had a jacket spud which came with cheese and beans and an enormous salad which was unexpected. Their salad dressing is delicious, coffee was good too. Great fun and good value for money. I’m going back in July and treating my mum to lunch!

My husband and I popped in here on a brief stop over in Crewkerne as it was just over the road from our hotel. Up the alley way at the side of the bar they had a pop-up cocktail bar and were playing music. There was also a nice touch of a juke box in a phone box. We sat inside, it was quite dark but this made it cosy. It seemed to have a steady trade all night as we propped up the bar chatting for a while. The bar staff seemed polite and friendly and even when my husband complained about the taste of the cider they changed it with no fuss and said they’d had a problem with the barrel but they thought it had been fixed. They took the cider off straight away. Lovely little find, that we would go to again.

We arrived to late for lunch as the kitchen was closed , the barmaid Amy offered to make us a sandwich, it arrived within minutes I had prawn my husband had cheese toasty and they were both delicious . They had a spiral staircase going downstairs to the cellar my husband asked were it went , Amy took him downstairs and showed him cells which date back to the 13 th century he was fascinated. Amy was so kind .

First, don't be put off by the exterior. Oscars appears to be located in a former, run-down antique shop and when you enter there is nothing plush about the interior, indeed it is almost as if you have stepped back in time.

Crewkerne is very fortunate to have such a great place. Either sitting indoors or outside the atmosphere is great in this place. Drinks are reasonable and what I saw of the food it looked very nice. We witnessed a family thorughly enjoying the food. Will have to go back to sample it ourselves. Prices very reasonable what I saw on the menu.

Ate here tonight, steak was fab, with lovely roasted vegetables and great fries. Friends had excellent scallops from Lyme Bay + small lamb chops. It is great that they do starter sizes of main courses. Service from 2 young guys was really fantastic, really on the money, well trained. One tiny niggle, is that for an hour or so both real ales were off.

Strange little place and to my mind struggling with its identity i.e. is it a pub, wine bar or restaurant. Having endured a visit I'm still not sure....

We timed our visit to Crewkerne so we would arrive at lunchtime and were looking forward to eating in a cosy atmospheric country pub, after a disappointing walk round it became obvious pubs are something Crewkerne is seriously lacking but fortunately a local came to the rescue and pointed us towards Oscar's Wine Bar.

Popped in for a drink while staying in a nearby campsite. Dog friendly and people friendly. Well priced decent wine and a great atmosphere. We’d love to come back xx

Oscars is set in a historic building with ancient architectural features. Open log fire in the dining area, friendly bar and it’s own courtyard out back give you plenty choice of how to take your refreshment. Food is good and the bar is reasonably priced. Staff are welcoming. Great place to stop by in Crewkerne.

About thirteen of us. Brilliant food, as usual. Served quickly despite lots of different choices and beautifully cooked. Good helpings. Lovely staff. Great evening.

Had our first family christmas dinner of the yea Saturday 10th November. We all agree the staff, service and food was excelent and reasonably priced. I can say the food and staff are the best in Crewcerne.

This is not your normal Sunday lunch, it's better. Great atmosphere, good beers and wines and fabulous food. Met the chef/ owner Richard and the lovely Jackie when I went in to see if we could get a table. They were fully booked, but Richard suggested that we come in at 2.30 and he would make sure that we got a table. We had the fabulous roast beef. Rare for myself and medium for Keith, both were just as requested, the Yorkshires were light and fluffy, the roast potatoes just right and the veg el dente, all served on a platter. Plenty of gravy and horseradish. You could not ask for better. Thank you Richard, Jackie, Jack and Scalett. Cannot wait to go back.

If you want a traditional pub with a varied menu and a friendly welcome you will find it here.

Gathered the family to celebrate a special birthday. Good choice of food. Very reasonably priced selection of beers and wines. Very popular with local families - well worth booking a table. A relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Four of us went to this bar for Sunday lunch. Never been before and had booked for 1315hrs. We arrived just before our table was booked and we were seated and our drinks order taken straight away. Two of ordered beef and specified how we wanted it cooked, two of us ordered the chicken. Our food was delivered on large tray with a whole chicken, a large selection of veg including roast potatoes. We received 6 large slices of beef. A full large jug of gravy. We managed to devour most of this dinner but the ladies did leave some of the chicken. We were given silver foil to wrap the chicken remains to take home. After the table was cleared we ordered sweets. Two of us having the apple crumble and two of us the bread and butter pudding. The sweets came with a large jug of very hot custard. We were not rushed at all and the staff were very helpful and good at there job. One of nicest Sunday Lunches I have had in years and all at a very reasonable price.

Oscars was very busy from the 18:45 when we got there, ordered drinks at the bar and we’re shown to a back room where our group of ten were seated. Had preordered our starters and mains due to group size and pleasantly surprised by the prices. When the starters came our eyes popped out of our heads as they were huge portions and looked fantastic, fresh cooked and lovely flavours. The mains also were beautiful again huge portions and fabulous, the ham, egg and chips and lasagne were among the best ever had. The puddings were great too with a lovely strawberry pavlova at unbelievable price or £3.99. The drinks and real ale we great too.

Evening meal here and great food, plenty of it and great srvice and welcome. Would recommend wholeheartedly.

A great traditional British pub with real ales and an extensive bar menu. Friendly staff and a warm welcome. Great value, with something for everyone. Ideal for both locals or when just passing through Crewkerne.

Was a little duelling banjos, not overly welcoming, weird decor, and gloomy. Wine was poor, though there were two suits of armour which is a plus maybe?

Called early on a Tuesday evening after reading positive reviews. Bar was empty and after ordering a drink, we were told they could not serve us a meal. We then sat there watching the staff and chef standing around the bar chatting. No one else came in to eat while we were there.

Popped in for a quick Pimms and lemonade prior to a wedding day on the lash An excellent way to start proceedings in a most convivial bar

Both my wife and I had the steak. Disappointed at vegetables and, what I call McDonald's chips, thin fries. Not what you would expect for a steak neal. We were not asked what we wanted to drink but had to go the bar. However, a bottle of water was brought to the table without any asking.

I've been to Oscar's a number of times when I visit my mum, it is the best place in Crewkerne. I had the scallops to start and they were beautifully cooked. I like its charm and the service is always great.

My husband and I along with friends ate her last Friday. We had a FANTASTIC meal..cooked to perfection, a large range from Crevettes,steaks,fish and chips, scallops and all brought out at the same time. Plenty of food, portions were large so you didnt have that feeling of not being served enough as you can in other places. Scarlett, our waitress, was VERY polite and professional, the atmosphere in the bar was very welcoming and relaxed. All in all An AMAZING evening...you have to eat here!!

I took a day trip to Crewkerne recently to visit a close friend. She had kindly booked Oscars for Saturday lunch and it turned out to be a real treat. The building itself is very old, dating back to the days when it was a staging post, I believe. It was therefore a particularly interesting venue and created a great first impression. The staff were welcoming and friendly and the meal itself was delicious, with the most enormous helpings imaginable! I don’t get down to the South-West very often but a return visit to Oscars will definitely be on the agenda for our next catch-up. Thanks to all concerned for a very enjoyable couple of hours.

I stopped at Oscars on a motorcycle trip from Lands End to Northampton and it was worth every moment.

Always lively, decent selection of beer, cheerful landlord doing his bit to protect the history of Crewkerne. Food is good, reasonably priced and the portions are good. Only thing to watch is that this is probably not the place for a romantic weekend meal as it’s very busy and quite load on a weekend evening.

Went here late last November for a Sunday dinner with my parents and kids when we'd had a big day out at West Bay and couldn't be bothered to cook.

My cousin and I popped into Oscars for a drink and were welcomed straight away. We were helped with our choices of drinks by the friendly bar staff. The locals were very welcoming and friendly. Definitely visit again

We live in Crewkerne and this is our local, and we are very lucky! Okay the menu hasn't changed for years and it is very rustic but that is part of it's charm. They welcome our dog and have treats and water available. The food is always plentiful, well cooked, sourced locally and the service friendly. The landlord is very community focused which is an added bonus!

Went to Oscars for lunch with friends, they visit quite often, unfortunately for us, we went on a Saturday in February, when it was very cold and wet outside, this meant the bar was very cold, and we could not get warm, by the time we left, we were cold to the core

Dropped in by chance and was overwhelmed by the quality & portion size of our lunchtime snacks plus the friendly welcome at atmosphere, you’ll find mostly locals drinking here and no evidence of pub chain décor whatsoever as it’s riddled with curious artefacts and antiques, will probably go out of my way to re-visit as it was so enjoyable…

They squeezed seven of us in at short notice. The menu is quite varied. I had Lyme Bay scallops which were delicious. The best I have ever tasted. All the others had varied meals. Very large portions. Nobody could manage a sweet. Very friendly wine bar.

Had Sunday lunch ......choice of chicken or beef ! Incredible sized portions. The vegetables were delicious ......everything beautifully cooked.

More a Pub than a Wine Bar, but that doesn't take anything away from the lively atmosphere.

Been here several times and never fails to please. Great food , great service , lovely atmosphere . Prices good , quirky but enjoyable .

Not sure I can say much more than has already been said.Just back from a 3 day trip to Crewkerne. Found Richard and his staff very friendly and accommodating, Few drinks on Friday night, mentioned to a couple of people about booking Sunday lunch we were told to go nowhere else. Glad we took there advice. It could not have been any better ,Richard squeezed us in..Great food and so much of it..One,if not the best Sunday roast we've had..Just wish it wasn't 160 miles away...Thank you Richard

Came for dinner with my GF also partner and was very impressed with all aspects of the experience.The dining area has a romantic feel to it, the staff are polite and professional and the quality and diversity of the menue is expetional. Great value and fantastic portions (you won't leave hungry!).

Went here again passing through to West Bay with my brothers on our " Dorset Knobs" weekend and what a lot of fun we had with both locals and staff. Highly recommend this unusual bar. Will be back next year, thank you everyone.

We had a crowd of family and friends for a joint birthday party - aperitifs in the bar and then 15 round the table in the back room. It's not isolated but it is away from the lively crowd in the front. Food was superb (as it has been whenever I've been on previous occasions). Richard cooked a Beef Wellington the size of a welly boot and a venison pie with various accompaniments. Table groaning as usual with more than enough grub. Luscious cheesecake to follow, with profiteroles.Excellent quality and value. Very hard to beat especially for a private party of up to around 20 people. Another visit in around 6 weeks - can't wait !Thanks Richard and the rest of the team.

Rowdy, busy and fun. Friday night is always a noisy one with many groups out and about. Food tasty and plentiful.

my wife and I had the steak n kidney pudding with a bucket of chips it was very good and cooked well very good evening but you will have to book your table there was a party next to us bit noisy as it was one of the party birthday and it did not spoil our night yes a very good menu

First time we've eaten in here and we will definitely be back to try the evening menu. Sunday lunch was delicious, the portion sizes are very generous and we liked the fact that everything came out in bowls and meat on a platter for you to serve your self, all the food came out piping hot, the gravy was plentiful and proper gravy, not bisto! The girls serving were friendly and polite. Only positive things to say really. The table cloths could be left off as the tables are good old rustic ones which all adds to the character.

very good service, fanatics meal wife had scallops, I had ham egg chips very good portions good value for money, thank you

Lovely food , large portions , the proprietor worked extremely hard to make our christmas party a success, friendly staff , very relaxed atmosphere, many thanks for a lovely evening.

We've been before and we were impressed then and if anything the food is even better. 6 of us had a variety of dishes all of which were well presented and very enjoyable.Highly recommended.

We couldn't fault Oscars - friendly service and fantastic food. We had beef, were asked how we wanted it done and then presented with it on a platter arranged from rare to well done. Veg were plentiful and provided in bowls so we could help ourselves. And all at a reasonable price.

Never been disappointed with Sunday lunch at this wine bar. Food freshly prepared and plentiful. Place is full of local characters too.

I have been to oscars on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed the friendly and efficient staff and wonderful food make it well worth a visit. I have now been for 2 family events with large groups and they have catered for both, nothing to much trouble.

Have been here a number of times (and I'm not a 'farmhand') as a previous reviewer seems to have a snobbery issue.The crowd in here are certainly eclectic ranging from groups of friends in their later years .antique dealers and locals.always been friendly and welcoming. The food is tremendous and yes the portion sizes are enormous and of good quality.it is the best place to eat in crewkerne.

Been here dozens of times over the last few years and never disappointed . When you go to Oscars you're guaranteed to have a good meal in a comfortable atmosphere .

Well, we'd read the other Tripadvisor reviews, so we had a good idea what we might be letting ourselves in for. This is not a quiet, comfortable, high class eatery. It's not even a wine bar, as such. Its a pub with grub. Our estate agent girlfriend said it would be great - but then she is a young 20-something year old, and probably enjoys the atmosphere. We're not stuffy but when the local farmhands get lary and inebriated (with language to boot), it's not enjoyable. Oh, and the wine list (for this Wine Bar). Nothing on the list is available, so don't bother looking at it. All the wines are being changed (apparently) so the list isn't accurate. Ordered a New Zealand SB and a Chilean bottle was plonked on the table whilst the waitress went to get a huge bucket of ice and water. Not satisfied with the Chilean offering, I asked for the NZ, to be met with a snort and a huff, as she sauntered off to find one. I got one in the end, but not the one listed. I think that the owner is the chef, and the food was delightful and humungous in size of portions. The starters are very large (for starters) and then the main meals are also large - 10 fresh scallops per person is lovely, but a huge quantity to eat. This place could learn a lot by attending a customer care course - unless you're a farmhand, in which case it may suit you.

Booked a meal here as localish. Knew no one who had been but on looking at the menu it appealed to us a lot. Lots of seafood!!!!Booked a table and it was all ready. Very traditional quirky place very welcoming and good 1st impression.3 of us chose starters and mains. Water was placed on the table which is always a good thing without having to ask. Wine list was vast and house wine a plenty in choice and mega value at £11 per bottle.The starters were fab. Large, well presented, and served with a homely hot bagette. Scallops were lovely and tasty and excellent value as was the red wine mushrooms.A little disappointed we had to reorder our plaice fillets as plaice has not been delivered and the alternative fish was somewhat unheard of by any of us!!Chose calamari which was lovely, lightly battered and served with sidesalad and a huge bowl of chips. Lasagne was good size portion in individual serving dish which was lovely touch.We couldn't fault the service, the food or the place the only fault was............... they fed us so well we didn't reach the puds!!!!!!An excellent night will certainly return lots!!!!!!!!!

This is another regular(ish) haunt of mine. Very lively atmosphere, outside off road seating area, fantastic value, huge food portions so be prepared. Great place to meet for a drink, very much part of the community especially when events are taking place in the town centre. Richard who owns it is a stalwart member of the community & a great character.

I'm not usually a "Wine Bar" sort of a guy but Oscars looked more like a pub when I peeked through its front door than some trendy townie place to be seen. A quick perusal of the handwritten (always a good sign) specials menu leaning inelegantly in the doorway made my lunch decision - "Lyme Bay Scallops (starter) with French Bread and Salad."A pint of perfectly good local(ish) beer, served by the rather delicious barmaid, and a place to tie my horse up (pic #3) in the back courtyard were bonuses. It seems Oscars was formerly an antique shop and judging by the eclectic décor and bric-a-brac it looks like the present owner got the shop lock, stock and barrel. The result is a characterful, intimate, front dining room with a mish-mash of furniture and a little, well-stocked, bar in one corner. "Wine Bar" is certainly not the term I'd use to describe the place.Out back is the cobbled alley of Victoria Mews where the outside seating catches the lunchtime sun and where you can tie your horse up and should you wish to do a bit of time travel there's a Tardis at the far end (pic #4).Service throughout was friendly, swift and smiling and later that afternoon whilst I was sitting with a beer outside the George the rather delicious barmaid passed by and gave me a cheery wave.My starter portion of scallops were just what I required for a light lunch - four plump, juicy, specimens, perfectly cooked in a VERY garlicky butter. A decent chunk of fresh-out-of-the-oven baguette and a simple side salad completed the meal and for just under 8 quid was perfectly good value for money.
