Lovey local pub, nice beer garden out front to enjoy a pint the Somerset sunshine! Great service from the landlords Graham & Cheryl. Highly recommend you stop by if you’re ever in Shipham!

This is not PUP, it's some kind of zoo At 2:30 p.m. I wanted to eat something with my husband, but it didn't work out At the entrance we were greeted by 5 dogs licking and sniffing. This is such a failure I do not recommend!!

Lovely old fashioned pub. Not to far off the Mendip way. Which is a lovely walk. Good selection of beers and ciders. Did not eat but the menu looked good. They do accommodation. So if planning the Mendip way could make a good stop over.

This pub is very welcoming, has a great atmosphere and the food is fantastic. It has a separate dining area, bar and a fun room with a pool table, darts area and jukebox. There are quizz nights, karaoke nights, dj’s and more.

Now called Shipham Inn, not Pencot Inn. A pub where the locals look you up and down when you enter the pub and listen to your bar order (as they're sat either side of the bar and you're interrupting their lunchtime pint conversation). Barman was friendly. Drinks are well priced (£7 for two half pints and 2 packets of crisps). Weather was good so we sat outside on the green and watched the world of Shipham go by.

Great place to stop by and grab a beer - support your local - go for a bike ride or walk and pop in for an Ale

Had a fantastic 3 night stay here over christmas, Graham and Cheryl the hosts were very welcoming and a lovely couple, they could not do enough for you to make your stay comfortable, the pub is dog friendly, The xmas breakfast and xmas dinner was absolutely fantastic as were the meals during our stay. In the summer we were told they do lovely bbq's out the front of the pub. The room we had was lovely, ensuite and warm the whole stay, we had the 4 poster bed and was so comfortable, tea and coffee in room and the bath towels were soft and thick, would definitely stay there again, a bonus was we love Kronenbourg lager and they had it on tap, Kieran who works behind the bar a proper character and nice lad, everyone loved him whilst we stayed there. Entertainment on the 23rd. December was awesome, a big thankyou to you both Graham and Cheryl, hope to return again in the summer, Regards Mick n Sam

Our car broke down as we were driving through Shipham last Saturday and while we waited for the RAC we visited the Penscot Inn where we were warmly welcomed by the staff and locals. We took the opportunity to have some food while we waited and it was fantastic with a great service. Thank you very much to Graham for the over and above service when the RAC didn't turn up! 😁

Great place for a relaxed short break, close to all the attractions of the Mendips and the environs - sadly Shipham isn't exactly a vibrant cosmopolitan experience, so if you are happy to stay in one place of an evening (WIFI is excellent) it's worth checking out. Definitely need a car as public transport is non-existent. Clean and comfortable rooms (we love the showers!) and a bar downstairs - what's not to like? Food is of a good standard - the breakfast is huge and served with a smile. Great local beer and ciders at the bar, well kept and reasonably priced - always a bonus! There is plenty of parking at the rear. Overall a positive experience and the Penscott team can be proud of what they have achieved in a short time.

I was doing the West Mendip Way and this was night one after 12 miles and I was quite glad to stop here and rest my weary legs - they do evening meals until 7 pm I think - you can have breakfast or not as the case may be Proprietors are welcoming and couldnot ask for more - nice to be able to just go down the stairs for breakfast and evening meal

Food wasn't great, and not much choice especially for v or vg. They didn't even have butter. Service was poor. A real shame.

We've been in Somerset for a few years now, and are not far from Saffron Indian Restaurant. We'd heard very good reviews from all our friends and family over the last few years, and finally we got around to booking up. So pleased we did. We went with another couple and we had a great evening. We went on a Friday evening in early November. Booking was easy. We got seated quickly and cordially, as the staff we're quite attentive. We did ask to move seats soon after, as a group of 4 'Hinkley workers came in and were seated next to us and they were quite loud. The next seating they took us to was perfect. The menu is extensive with all the usual eastern fare (Bombay, Bengali, Biriyani and some Persian dishes). I was pleased to see a Lamb Shashlik there, as it's one of my go-to dishes, that or a Lamb Dansak. We ordered our drinks and food (and a selection extras, rice and nan breads) and we started with Papadoms and Onion Bhaji. The Bhaji were large and light - excellent. No greasy at all. The main meals arrived as we chatted and laughed our way through the evening. My Lamb Dansak was amazing. Perfectly seasoned, not oily, and perfect level of spice for me. I have to say, the garlic nan breads were heaven ... I could have feasted on these alone. Other meals in my party looked amazing too; Chicken Shashlik, Lamb Korma and the Vegetable Biriyani. We'll definitely be back, and it won't take so long this time. It'll be a nice break from all the Christmas meals that we're about to put away soon. Highly recommended. Do book up soon, you won't be disappointed. It's a favourite local hotspot of many in the area. I now know why. Wish I'd gone sooner. There is free local street parking available. It's wheelchair and child friendly. They do take-aways too. Enjoy.

Wasn’t too bad but wasn’t great and got shouted at to get out dead on 11 most places just knock and ask politely here for work so not a great start to the day.
