Queen Vic in Mendip

Nice very old pub, restaurants,nice food ,good service, dogs are welcome..would recommend twenty minutes walk from the caravan park,pst the green and first right.

We popped in for lunch on a Friday. It’s a great traditional village pub with wood burning stoves, wooden beams and flagstone floors. The food is excellent and they have something for everyone. Plenty of pub classics. My friend had faggots and mash. And lots of lighter bites. I had the prawn cocktail. Both meals were very generous. I’d have struggled to eat a main course after my starter. They have a couple of good local real ales and a good selection of other drinks. It’s a walker and dog friendly pub. Highly recommended

A hidden gem. Read good reviews. had been to Cheddar Gorge & Wells so decided to visit. Very friendly cosy country pub, dog friendly. Meals were amazing value for money & huge portions (took some of it home). Not your usual standard chain menu. Definitely recommend home made broccoli & stilton quiche, proper chunky chips . Bit in the middle of nowhere but worth going to.

lovely building but unfortunately terrible staff . they are rude and incompetent. avoid please can we have "real" people to serve us

Went today on a Sunday afternoon, they don’t accept bookings so turn up only. Staff were amazing and so friendly! Food was amazing!! Had a 5 year old with us and ( I think the owner ) went upstairs to her flat to get some jigsaws for him. We had lasagne, beef pie and ice cream. 100% recommend this place!

We left the place very angry! The outside looked as gorgeous as all the photos show but I phoned in advanced and wanted to book a table but was told that they don’t take reservations and to just come over as they have never had...

The second year in a row we have been down in December to see the queen victoria inn / Ginger bread house. It’s a sight you must see to get you in the festive season. Great food and a lovely countryside pub. I’ll be back...

We took our two granddaughters to admire the fantastic display of Christmas lights, the pub being temporarily renamed as The Gingerbread Inn. They were suitably impressed by the magnificent display. Inside we ordered two kids meals, the homemade faggots and lasagne; all were great examples...

We called into this country pub as locals had recommended for food. The pub had plenty of car parking and had atmosphere. We ordered steak and the ribs which arrived after about 20 minutes. The steak was good and the ribs excellent – so much...

We had quite a big family gathering for my father’s 60th Birthday and we were staying in the lodges at Wookey Hole. As the Inn there was full we decided to venture out and see where we could find for Sunday lunch. We came across...

A very traditional pub with lots of character, history and log fires - we liked it but some visitors may feel it looks worn and tired and requires some refurbishment. The menu is extensive and very reasonably priced with smaller portions available on many meals....

Basic pub fare and they even got that wrong. 45 minute wait with no explanation. Under cooked steak (sent back). Overcooked sea bass and ...... point of order, they were chops not cutlets. So disappointing.

Great country pub and restaurant Good menu with wide selection at reasonable prices Food was good and service great Only downside was too many tables in the space and were quite literally uncomfortably close to fellow customers

Having previously visited and having a lovely meal - homemade pie, we decided to book a celebratory meal for our youngest daughter's birthday. I contacted the pub and asked if I could bring a cake out to them ahead of the meal and discussed storage...

It was a good thing that our walking group had booked in advance - the car park was packed despite it being a lunchtime early in the week and the pub was full to the limit,and Priddy is a little off the beaten track! Our...

I’m not one of those people who get. Chance to go out and eat very often so I was really looking forward to a nice pub meal for my birthday. We put our order in and waited and waited. After 50 minutes I went to...

Went here with friends for a meal after reading good reviews. Very busy at 7:30pm,always a good sign. Good range of ales to drink, which for me is a bonus. Our table was ready and waiting. Ordered food at the bar. Had pate to start,and...

Its my father's local. We loved the atmosphere and the staff. Met the publican Mark who welcomed us personally. I can see why its popular with the locals. Only wish we had something like this back home. (That would ne Fremantle in Western Australia)

A lovely old pub in a somewhat isolated location, it’s got all the ingredients of a proper country inn with a flagstone floor, some exposed brickwork and wood panelling on the walls, a friendly barmaid and a good choice of beers. The only downside was a couple of rather noisy children running around, although they were at least largely contained to the smaller rear room. The menu offered an extensive selection of “pub grub” dishes, although it would have been nice to have been told when getting the menu that the fish pie was off – it’s always very disappointing having spent some time deciding what you want only to find out that it’s unavailable when you try and order it.As my first choice wasn’t available, I queried how hot the curry was as it was described as a Madras which is generally too hot for my liking. The barmaid informed me that it wasn’t as hot as the chilli, but was very tasty, so I went for that. All I can say is that I don’t know where she gets her curries from, but it’s certainly not the same place as me if she thinks that is tasty. There was absolutely no heat to it at all – if you imagine a Spanish dish perhaps with chicken, tomatoes and peppers, you’ll get the idea. It certainly wasn’t a curry of any description, never mind a Madras. Other than that, it was ok, although certainly nothing spectacular. I’m not sure if it was home-made or not, but I suspect not, it had that boil-in-a-bag appearance to it and it’s really the sort of thing that I would have expected to get in a Wetherspoon’s for about half the price. It came with a couple of poppadums which again were ok, if a little on the greasy side, and it wasn’t until I started the second one that I found some mango chutney hidden underneath. This was in a disposable paper pot, so again, presumably bought in and really didn’t taste that great. Across the table a beef, Butcombe and mushroom pie fared slightly better, it was certainly a generous portion and cut from a larger pie rather than being self-contained. It had some decent chunks of nice tender beef, but was a little lacking in flavour and needed plenty of seasoning.Overall, whilst this is a lovely pub to stop for a pint, in fact one of my favourites, I won’t be rushing back for the food any time soon.

Well cooked food offered in large portions, particularly the Beef & Butcombe pie. Good service and we left feeling very full.

Thanks guys. Ali and I ate here every day whilst camping down the road. Mark (Landlord) and his staff clearly love this establishment and are extremely welcoming to all. The food is lovely, beer is well kept (I don't do cider so can't comment on that). The wine went down well with my wife. Lovely place. We would recommend you drop in if you are in the area. Mark and Ali

My family and I had a great time at The Queen Victoria pub. The atmosphere was very nice and friendly, and food was good (although our steaks were a bit overcooked).

We went for meal and my husband had th pie and i had fish and chips. OMG the fish was overlapping th plate. Great food and lots of it. Would recommend anyone to try.

A fantastic traditional country pub offering an extensive selection of Ales, ciders and good quality wines. Great quality pub food with and good choice. Pub has a lovely atmosphere and is great for walkers and dog lovers. Would absolutely recommend a visit here, you won’t be disappointed

An excellent welcome. Lovely proper pub atmosphere. Good food and good service. We only wanted a small meal and there was no problem just having a starter. Thank you.

Eaten at this lovely old pub for years. Menu does not change a lot, and the food is good pub grub, nothing too exciting and predictable. Fills a whole.

We contacted the pub early afternoon and although they were fully booked for the night, they welcomed us and squeezed us in. A group of 10 a mixture of adults and kids. Food was fantastic. Even the kids finished there very generous sized portions. Puddings are often a let down but not here. Kids loved the ice cream and the chocolate fudge cake I’m told was lovely. But the treacle sponge with custard was so soft and scrumptious. Just a lovely pub in a lovely area. Such a shame that these places are slowing closing. Here’s hoping that this one is here to stay. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Had a lovely pub lunch with friends. Plenary of parking and the homemade pies are great. The staff are friendly and the service was pretty quick.

This place is always full of locals and holidaymakers. As one of the latter Iwas happy that it was near our holiday cottage. No cooking!! The homemade pie was crammed full of beautifully cooked meat and the steaks were tasty, well cooked and good value for money. Some different draught beers and cider to try too!

Really friendly staff and a nice welcome. Food was delicious. The salad was all fresh and crispy. Would definitely visit again

we were a group of 6 on a very wet August evening, so lots of other campers joined us, needless to say, service was very slow, waited nearly 1 hour for meals to arrive. Had run out of quite a few dishes including all pies, which the pub is well known for. Staff were polite and friendly.

Came over with a friend who lives in a village nearby. Excellent lunch, with good home-cooked food and well-kept beer. Very popular today (Saturday), with over 50 people int the pub, with most eating.

Uns hat das Essen gut geschmeckt, wir waren zweimal dort. Neben der Standardkarte gibt es eine Tageskarte.Die Speisen sind eher einfach, als Beilage gibt es oft Pommes/Chips.Die Bedienung war freundlich.Gegenüber des Pubs gibt es einen Spielplatz.

Good food, good beers (and ciders) and great hospitality. Well worth a visit - great quirky building.

Visited yesterday lunchtime with friends.Had the hunters chicken which was delicious.the wife had the home made faggots which she enjoyed very much. Place was busy with plenty of outdoor tables.very much enjoyed

We visited on a very warm summer evening and sat outside in the sunshine. The menu is very varied and suits most palates and pockets.

We’d struggled to find a nice pub whilst camping in the area and found the Queen Victoria which saved our day!! Lovely old pub with sheltered outdoor seating, friendly staff and good menu. We’d def like to come back to this pub a lot in the area seem to be stuck up but this pub had a really homely feel and very welcoming. Thanks!!

On holiday in the area we were out walking our dog & a local lady recommended the Queen Victoria for an evening meal,i am so glad she did. We called in to check the menu in the afternoon & stayed for a quick drink,the barmaid was helpful & friendly & we got chatting to some locals. An equally warm welcome was given when we returned to eat,the food was delicious & the prices reasonable. We have eaten in a few places this week & this is easily the best.....highly recommended

Living local and fed up of holiday makers its always nice to fall off the beaten track for a good bit of grub.. Had a ploughmans with a side of chips ( yes but i’ll explain why chips).. lovely old pub, duck as you enter.. lovely bar. Sat with a drink and read the menu. Saw the next table had chips.. well.. these looked amazing. So had to have a bowl. Prices are great, and food is quality and large portions and tasted lovely. I shall be returning... alot.Wish i could vote more than 5 stars

To re-visit this fantastic hostelry after a thirty odd years and find it still the best of the best, we stopped for lunch and a drink, and believe me it still provides the best value food and drink in Somerset and the staff are fantastic, the pub is in a lovely village setting the sort of place you can just sit back and relax. I will not be leaving it so long before I visit again trust me if you are ever in the area you must call in you will not be disappointed. Ken and Jane from Sussex.

We often make the Queen Vic out destination after walking the Mendips. A relaxed classical country pup where locals and tourists alike are welcome. The food id very good and there is a good selection of beers. Everyone is welcome, including dogs. It is wahst a pub should be!

Such a lovely night in our motorhome fancied a pint and good pub food The Queen Victoria Priddy delivered in spades... land lord has a fab sense of humour thought we would be there for an hour 4 hours later we left with all 4 dogs leading us home

My wife and I visited this pub on Father's day the 16th June and I did phone before to make sure we could get a table as our first and second choices were full. I spoke to a chap who said that he does not take bookings and to "come along mate" and he would find us a table. We arrived and ordered drinks and found ourselves a small table and then managed to move to a larger table with more room and out of the main walkway. Once we decided what we wanted to eat I went to the bar and ordered our food and there was no mention of any time delay so we sat and waited for our meal to arrive. After 1 hour and 15 minutes I asked the waitress if she could please check on our order as people we know had actually arrived well after us and had already been served. She said that it was on it's way so we waited until I went to the bar and asked the chap if he could please check our order and he said yes and then turned his back and went to the till so I went back to my seat to wait, and wait we did until I returned to the bar to ask again and was told by the chap to calm down as it was on it's way at which point I told him we have been waiting for one and a half hours for fish and chips and a lasagne. He accused me of abusing his staff because I asked her politely to check on our order and stated that it was Father's day so they were busy!! He also stated that if I did not like his service he would refund our costs but at this time we had not had any food!! I held my tongue and went back to the table and eventually our average meal arrived, which we consumed and paid the bill and went home. A happy Father's day had by all.Yes the pub was busy, yes it was Father's day but surely a couple more staff would have helped and also if the food was going to take that long to arrive maybe this should have been mentioned when we ordered, I'm afraid that the attitude of the landlord was unacceptable and we won't be going back again even though we are local. There are other places to eat at within 10 minutes from the Queen Victoria. I have not written down exactly how I felt at the time and how I feel now as it would involve expletives, I am still angry that our meal was spoilt by one person.

Great little classic pub. Greeted by friendly staff & cosy atmosphere (dogs welcome also). Not very often you come across great pub food without a lengthy wait. Generous portion sizes too. Would recommend.

We ate here three times during our week's holiday in the area. On two of the nights we had the specials which were delicious and generous portions. On the last night we chose from the every day menu and again enjoyed our meals.

We were staying locally with our dog. The Queen Victoria was a short walk away and we ate there every night. The atmosphere in the pub was very friendly and there were other dogs present most evenings. The food was good and the helpings generous. It was useful to have the option of smaller portions for some dishes. There is a specials board which is well worth checking.

Dirty pub with not many beers on sale. I would not recommend the pub. I would not go there again for a drink and I guess the food would be that good as it was a dirty pub.

This pub was in walking distance of the camp site we stayed at. What a little gem. The pub was so warm and cosy very relaxing with a real log fire. The pub was also dog friendly, but most of the dogs were hidden under the tables and so well behaved I didnt notice them until their owners got up to leave. We ordered a ploughmans lunch each and I would say it was the best I have ever had. I can highly recomend this place.

A test for good food is to try Queen Victoria s Hunters Chicken. Simply the best with terrific chunky chips full of flavour and the cider is good as well Colin and Maureen

Went here twice while staying at the Camping and Caravan site, a mile up the road. A really old pub with real fires, low ceilings, beams and lots of old farming tools on the walls. Friendly landlord and staff. Dogs very welcome. A great selection of ciders. The food was good too. Large portions but was pleased to see that some meals are available in small portions. It was really busy on Friday night but there are lots of tables in different small rooms. Would recommend

Came here on a wet and windy weekday lunchtime to find the car park full, which we thought was a good sign, and it was! Lovely pub that welcomes everyone (dogs and muddy boots), a roaring log burner and a very friendly, relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. Staff lovely and friendly .... on to the food .... wonderful, piping hot, tasty, well cooked and good value. They really do deserve to be so busy!

Priddy is a very interesting village in the Mendip hills. This pub caters (very well too ) for walkers, tourists, cavers, dogs, children, locals cyclists and any others I have not remembered. When we visited it on Sunday I counted at least nine dogs and fussed four of them. There is an extensive menu and a daily specials board and a very good range of beers. Although it was busy we did not feel we had to wait too long and really enjoyed the meal. Great place to sit outside when the warm weather comes!

We were in the area on holiday and decided to go for a meal. From the outside it look inviting and when you go it is a typical country pub with a lovely fire, it may not.be open but it is still a good point. The atmosphere was very friendly indeed. We both started with a Salmon and Prawn cocktail which was very tasty it could have had a little bit more sauce with it. For main course I had a Sirloin stake and my wife had the fish pie. All this with a couple of drinks came to just over £35 which if great value.For the price this venue was well worth the visit.

I was disappointed with this. The beer at this pub is good, and it’s a homely sort of a place. The food, however, was not great. If a kitchen overdoes the chips, it doesn't say a lot for it. And the portions: the mound of peas with the steak and chips was far too much even for Jack Pudding's healthy appetite. So I'm afraid I won't be rushing back. Oh - and I was hoping for an all day breakfast, which wasn't an option...

Totally unspoilt in rural village. Flagstones and log burners, no sticky carpets here.Food - basic pub grub but tasty and not too pricey. Service was good and pub was friendly, enjoyed it but maybe not enough to go back. Perhaps that is unkind but there are a lot of places to eat in the area although you would be hard pushed to find one as authentic..

Frequently go here for lunch Usually brilliant .Went for my birthday lunch on 26 2 2018 to find no food because of staff training!!!! I am sorry but there are plenty of hours when the pub is shut to do that so they lost out on at least £25 worth of business and it is only because we like the place so much we will go back. Any other pub would have lost our business permanently so thanks, not ,for spoiling my birthday.

One of our regular walks is along the top of the Mendips at dear leap, this pub is perfectly positioned for a pint or a meal. Traditional pub grub in a very cosy local atmosphere

This pub is brillaint. Proper local country pub that feels like it hasnt changed for hundreds of years. Great to stop into after a long walk (there are loads to do in the area), beers and ciders are local along with more famous brands and with the open fires I could and have spent many a day here during the winter. I would love to be able to give this place 5 stars but cant due to the food. Its not bad at all but its pre-made microwave stuff. Just think a pub of this kind could do alot better. Dont let this stop you from going though. It is a great place to stop in.

I love this pub and used to drink there in my younger days. It was wonderful to visit again after so long and see the pub still has all its charm. Not much has changed. The beautiful log fires and the oldie world solid stone walls. We had two very wet Spaniels with us and were told bring them in, it's not an issue.We ordered food from the bar, tea and coffee for the ladies and a great pint of local Butcombe beer for me. My wife was very pleased to see so many vegetarian choices on the menu.The food was served very quickly and looked really good.We were all very impressed with the food and really enjoyed our visit.The young staff were very friendly and polite.We will most definitely be going back very soon.The Queen Vic is what I class as a real pub, lots of character. I loved it.

Have visited numerous times when in the area to catch up with family. Staff are great, food is even better, and the beer is kept properly. Some interesting Xmas decorations up during my last visit (gingerbread house!) But just added a topic of conversation. Perfect balance between friendly locals and visiting walkers etc. Would recommend the meat pie.....just make sure your hungry.

This is what a traditional english pub should be like, great food at reasonavle prices and the place had loads of character. Must visit, highly recommended!!

Warm welcome as always and delicious pub foods. Good atmosphere. Open fire. Good service and never had a poor meal. Lovely Mendip walks nearby

If you want a fruit machine or two , carpets and a bland brewery experience drive past .If you want a pub with stone flagstones (dogs and walkers welcome not just tolerated) simple generous portions of food, good beer, roaring log stove and a real character of a landlord make a bee line for the Queen Vic. Currently the pub is decked out as a gingerbread Inn for a charity fund raising, see it to believe it.The Queen Viv is a much loved local gem but welcome all.TOP TIP: Gets very busy on weekend between 1 and 2 so get there early or a bit later for a shorter wait and better choice of table

My wife wanted to visit this place before Christmas, but we couldn't fit it in. After work on Friday we set off from W-s-M, got there about 9.40pm, me, the wife & 2 kids (10 & 12). We asked if kids were allowed after 9 & barman said no probs as long as they sit down at a table. We obliged happily. This pub is currently all decorated as a Gingerbread house on the outside & inside is a beautiful old age pub with stone floors etc. It's gorgeous. We had 2 rounds of reasonably priced drinks. I had Butcombe Rare Breed which was great. There is a Christmas tree outside built of bottles, well worth a look. I wish this pub could be just outside Weston as I'd be in it all the time. Staff were very nice & very helpful too. Strongly recommend!!

Cool outside atm with the gingerbread house theme and Christmas tree made from bottles. Was packed inside but managed to get a table for 6, plus it's dog friendly. Good choice of food which was well priced. Popular with walkers

We had been recommended this pub from a friend who said they did good pub grub and they were correct. The outside was also covered in xmas decorations and lights which was amazing. It is small inside so getting a table may be tricky but it adds to the comfy cozy feel.

Saw the pub had been illuminated with Xmas lights and on the local TV and decided to go and have a look. It was our first time in the pub and the food was amazing and well priced. I had their faggots and was not disappointed.

Over the Christmas period, the landlord festoons the outside of the building with lights and ornaments to make it look like a gingerbread house - it is very effective and very pretty. There is also a very peculiar Christmas tree made out of used wine bottles! Once you venture into the pub, thing do return to normal and the rooms are more subtly decorated. The Inn is quite old and you can tell this from the low(ish) beamed ceilings and traditional stone walls. It is a lovely cosy place when the log fire is rouring away.This has to be one of the most friendly pubs I have ever visited as the staff alway greet you with a smile. From what I saw, the mainstay of the beers on tap is the local Butcombe Ales but I understand they do guest beers as well.We stayed for food whilst there, my wife has Simerset Ham & Eggs whilst I opted for Handmade Faggots - both of which were superb. The menu on offer is traditional grub rather then anything fancy (and I see nothing wrong with that at all).Being fairly local (WsM) - now I have found this little gem, I will definately be going back.

First time in the pub and the food was amazing and good priced. Went down cos seen the pub on the news. Called the Gingerbread Inn all lite up like a Gingerbread house. Definitely a place to visit in December even for a pic. It’s certainly a picture in the evening

We recently visited the Queen Victoria for Sunday lunch. We were so lucky to be accommodated as there were 9 of us that arrived without booking at peak time for Sunday lunch. We were all so impressed with our food. The majority of us had a Sunday roast which we all agreed was the best roast we had ever had in a restaurant. All our food came out at the same time, piping hot, well presented, reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. If I lived closer I would visit every week! Very impressed.

Fantastic surroundings, service and home made food. Roaring fires, great beer and food to die for. Home made faggots, beef and ale pie and fish pie to name a few. Very realistic pricing, with the option of smaller portions. Nothing pretentious here, just friendly, quick service in an old English surrounding. Proper pie pastry, not the frozen, flaky tops served everywhere. All pubs should be like this.Service, food and value 5/5

There are lamb burgers, and lamb burgers. The Queen Vic makes one seemingly without any bread or onion to soften it into a mouth-meltingly thing of joy. There’s is one solid lump of pure lamby protein. Just don’t drop one on your toe. Not for the faint hearted.

Very friendly staff and wow, food was amazing, staff were lovely and place was very warmly and great atmosphere Highly recommended

Great old pub out in the countryside. Well with finding. Good traditional pub menu. Well cooked food - generous portions; lovely country pub atmosphere.

Friendly staff, great location and fantastic food. Loved it and with great company too. Just up the road from Ebbor Gorge which was a great way to walk of the huge stomach!

I rang to book a table for Sunday lunch and was told we do not take bookings first come first served basics, so we arrived just after 12pm and the place was packed, this place really as a name for itself, we grabbed one of the last tables and settled down with a pint of draught Butcombe beer fab, typical country pub order at the bar they drop the food, nothing wrong with that . The roast Beef was to die for and more that a plate full. Great atmosphere charming staff, love this place makes it worthwhile coming back home for. Thank you

A bit idiosyncratic inside - furniture reclaimed from many sources; pews, barrels and the like. I suppose you'd term it "eclectic" but the overall effect is lovely - as though time had frozen a long time ago! And log fires so very cosy.It took a few minutes to get seated at a table as it was quite busy at the bar but everyone friendly, smiling and helpful. You order food at the bar and, in spite of being busy we only had a short wait before our meals arrived. A number of the items on the menu are available as smaller portions and having seen the size of the beef and ale pie meal we settled for smaller portions for our lasagne and curry. Glad we did as it left room for a pudding and coffee! Couldn't fault the food - it was excellent and great value for money.Dog- and child- friendly and they don't mind hikers' boots. Pubs don't come much better. We'll be back with the family!

Some chains of pubs do well but they can never be the "real thing". The Queen Victoria is the "proper job" for sure and just a bit eccentric too. First time I have ever sample Rhubarb Cider - just mentioned it having seen the sign and the next moment a sample was handed to me. Just like not having to lodge your card - this feels a proper pub and you feel they trust you. The scampi was as you would expect but the salad with bacon and chicken was just amazing - nothing arty - just a damned good plateful. It is a wonderful place which goes well with the wonderful area. Please will brewers not read this report - it is just lovely as it is and a pub chain would be sure to ruin it

Rang on the morning to book but found that you can't book.Turned up at 1.45pm on a Sunday.....(probably not the best time). Very busy but found a table straight away.Plenty on the menu.We had Hunters Chicken,Scampi and chips,Roast Beef,and Beef pie .Didn't have to wait too long for it to come. All plates were cleared.All food was amazing,hot and delicious !!!Never been here before and will be back again for sure.Dog friendly which is a big plus .And yes the Beef pie was exceptional. Great value as well.Win win all round !!! 1 happy family x

Staying locally in Priddy, for a short break I visited the "Victoria" for evening meal.The most striking thing about the place is the exterior:- what seems to be a very attractive building of local stone and dating almost certainly from the middle ages, is completely hidden by the framework of a marquee and an old horse drawn wagon full of beer barrels. This is what is first visible as you approach the place! The frontage is also cluttered by a plethora of coloured picnic benches.The interior has a certain character but appears cluttered, due to over-size tables in very limited space. The "log fire" is a glass fronted log burning stove. For some unfathomable reason there are two ancient and extremely ugly, cauldrons; one each side of the log-burner, in what was an "Inglenook" fireplace.Close by the log-burner is a modern "repro" rocking chair with a notice attached instructing that it should not be used!A wide range of beers are available and the food is okay. The staff are efficient and friendly.The greatest asset this pub has is its location, the whole surrounding area of the Mendip Hills is breath-taking. I mile outside the village to the east is a view-point with vistas over Wookey Hole to Glastonbury and to the west views to South Wales over the Bristol Channel. You can visit ancient monuments which are only reachable on foot. Priddy village is not the prettiest of places, but has a splendid village green, a lovely church and village school. There is a shop about one mile out of the village to the north-west, although limited stock, there is a newsagents. Wookey Hole and Wells are within easy reach and there is B and B accommodation, campsites and a caravan park on the village outskirts.2,

We were invited here with friends who had previously visited, it is a drive of around 30-40 minutes from where we live, quite busy when we arrived, it is in a lovely setting and very well laid out, the beers are excellent and very well kept, we all decided to go with the beef, butcombe and mushroom pie, and wow!!! I can make a good beef pie but this was exceptional absolutely fabulous and so huge I could not finish it, much to my annoyance, well worth the drive and will definitely be re visiting in the very near future, a great menu whether you want meat or veggie dishes, highly recommended

This pub is a little off the beaten track but I would drive a number of miles to visit it if I stayed in the area again. We were staying in Wookey Hole and stumbled across the pub on Monday evening. Tired and not wishing to drive too far we decided to call in and I'm so glad we did. We were greeted by lovely, friendly staff who were keen to make our visit special. Nothing was too much trouble and they were extremely attentive. And the food, well all I can say is - this is the best pub grub I've had in a long time, and the prices are very reasonable. We enjoyed it so much, we decided to go back last night for a second visit and again we weren't disappointed. I would definitely recommend this pub to anyone wishing to get a superb meal with a friendly service.

Large homemade meals. Well priced. A very popular pub. Would definitely go back again next time I am in Somerset

This country pub has a lot of charm and character, popular with the locals.The beer selection was disappointing but acceptable. I have given up expecting great food at pubs. They simply cannot afford a good chef for the sporadic trade they get, so be prepared for freezer food. The Queen Vic is no exception apart from the fact they have priced it accordingly and you are not being ripped off. It is cheap and cheerful so full marks to them for no pretensions.

we had been walking in the area and wanted our eve meal.lovely old country pub low ceilings and beams even wood burner lit.the man behind the bar helpful.menu quite extensive we ordered beef ale and mushroom pie and i had the scampi small portion my partner said it was one of the best pies he had had in a long time actually filled with meat!! as he has had some with hardly any meat in them! large slice of it with veg and mash.my scampi very nice as well.partner said beer good as well. had sticky toffee to share for desert which was very light and tasted lovely. thoroughly recommended for beer and eats.

Dropped by on route to BristolMy husband has very fond memories of propping up the bar here during his caving days. Thank fully 40 years on and the inside has not changed one bit . Staff excellent customer service , bar person greeted us with a lovely friendly welcome and the waitress was lovely too! Ordered 2 starters which could have passed for the main meal , great fresh salad accompaniment, 2 main meals..and 2 alcoholic drinks the bill was just under £40.Seriously the quality and quantity was brilliant !! Landlord chatty and friendly too.Expect the pub gets full most nights so best to reserve a table .Definitely be visiting again ! And again ! ☺

So after reading a few bad reviews on here about this place I decided to write a review myself, after being here today I can say that these people writing the bad reviews are being extremely pedantic, you're in the country you're not in Oxford or London now so yes there is going to be flies and the buildings are more than likely going to be old, writing a bad review based on that is pathetic! If a place genuinely deserves a bad review then I'll be one of the first to write about it but this place certainly doesn't deserve one.After a long day of walking I decided to pop in and have a drink, after reading the menu I decided to have something to eat.The staff were friendly, the food was served in good time and was delicious nice and hot and full of flavour. Everything was decently priced. The only bad thing I have to write which isn't really that bad is that the outside seating area could do with a sweep. Well done guys thanks for a lovely meal I'll definitely be coming back!!

Decided to have lunch here as my partner and I had not visited for many years. On arriving at the pub, the car park was virtually full which was a little surprising as the time was only 12:30 on a Wednesday. However, when we went into the pub there were only a handful of people to be seen. Slightly puzzled, I enquired of the friendly young lady behind the bar whether we would be okay for lunch. Smiling, she said of course and that we could sit anywhere but recommended that we sit to the left of the bar as there was a party of 30 ramblers due in at 1 o'clock who would take up the whole of the pub to the right. Great advice and an answer to the puzzle of the full car park.Settling in, we ordered a jacket potato and the beef, Butcombe and mushroom pie, washed down with a glass of Merlot and a pint of Butcombe Original. The food arrived quickly, was piping hot and quite frankly, superb! The pie had a great crust and a equally good pastry bottom. The beef was lean and succulent. The chips were large, crisp and plentiful. The prices were also very reasonable.Sure enough, whilst we were eating the ramblers arrived and the noise levels went up but they quickly settled into the right hand side of the bar which meant we weren't bothered excessively, leaving us to enjoy our lunch.Overall, we were glad to have revisited after so long. I don't think we'll wait as long for the next visit.One small gripe though was that although the pub carries Butcombe branding, you can't use your Butcombe Loyalty Club card as it is tenanted rather than managed. Don't let this put you off though as you'll be missing out hugely!

We had a family gathering at the Queen Vic. As we were a large group I had to send our order through before (but we added to it on the day) - no problems. There is seating outside as well. The place was packed. Dogs are welcome. I had the garlic mushrooms followed by a mixed ploughmans. Others at the table tried the salmon and prawn cocktail, crab cakes, soup, cheddar ploughmans, fish pie, fish and chips,chicken and bacon salad and hunters chicken. All of our food looked great and everyone said how tasty it was. Some of the group went back to the pub in the evening for a drink and the pub was still packed.

A Tuesday in September with the sun shining made this a very good selection. A number of couples outside in the sun, but we decided to eat inside as not too warm out.A good welcome from the bar, with good beer and wine range.Decided to eat and we were surprised at the portion size, really good.My wife had crab cakes and salad to start, I had Brie wedges and salad. Both very good, but a little more of the dipping sauce would have been nice.Main course was a ploughman' for each of us, smoked salmon and prawn for my wife, mixed cheese and ham for me. Again very good portion size.Over all, a very good find in a little Somerset village and very good value for money.

Proper old village pub, we stoped to get an early evening meal. Beers and draught ciders were excellent. Helpful barman allowed us to try samples of cider which were all lovely. The food was wholesome, not fancy. Steak and ale pie was delicious, as were the home-made faggots, mash and peas. Nice relaxed atmosphere. The pub was very busy with lots of local customers. The service was excellent, prompt and friendly.

Situated high in the Mendips is a traditional pub with retained old features and artifacts - none of your plastic makeovers here as they would not go with the stone floors or accommodate walkers in comfort. There is a wide selection of good pub grub. The lady serving was polite and efficient. Meals arrived within 15 mins of ordering. It looked good, it was hot, it tasted good and there was plenty of it. If you like homemade beef pie, chilli beef or fish pie you cannot go wrong. It was our first visit to the Queen Victoria and I am sure it will not be our last

Always a pleadure to visit this typical English pub particularly now the rival New Inn has closed. Large car park with hardly an empty space - always a good sign! Only popped in for a lunchtime snack. They were happy for us to share a baguette with a beautiful bowl of chips. The choice of draught beers was a little disappointing, However, the ambience was good, the staff smiling and obliging. Lovely location.

Gets very busy, serves decent beer and reasonable food. Very disappointed with the quality and standard of the toilets, my wife was particularly wary about eating food at an establishment with toilets of that standard. Let down by something quite straightforward (you would think) to keep on top off!

This is a traditional pub just off the village green. Nice welcome and cool inside on a Summer day away from the crowd outside. Good ale and basic but very good pub food. The corned beef hash was excellent and I'd love to have it again. I would imagine in Winter with the fire going it is really cosy and you won't want to go home!

Family meal and taste of local cider. We were camping near by, so very convenient for quick meal out. Food was served fast, reasonable standard of food. The kids enjoyed the gammon, cheddar and ham ploughman's was a good size and too big portion for myself to eat. Bacon and cheese burger was reported to be delicious. Washed down by local cider. Tasty and refreshing. Good value meal, reasonably priced. Good playground for the kids to keep them occupied. Only criticism would be dirty glasses and dishes left in the playground area tables attracting local bug life.

My partner and I had dinner here not so long ago, whilst visiting the area (we were camping at Nettwood Farm not too far away).The service was all good from the various staff members and they had a good selection of food & drinks available.My partner is vegetarian and they were able to offer a couple of decent options (not just the usual mushroom risotto that most places think is acceptable).They did yummy desserts too!The pub had ample parking and when we arrived there were plenty of free tables. We were told that they don't take bookings, although my partner had rung a few weeks before to reserve a table, so that was a bit odd. Not an issue when quiet, but something to bear in mind if you plan to go on a busy Friday/Saturday evening,Overall it was very good and we would certainly go back.

Service was quick, but the menu is simple and limited. Everything served with chips, or rice. Or both!? Pretty average food. Chips were just about warm, scampi was ok. Children's menu is basic.
