Somerset Arms in Monmouthshire

I highly recommend that you visit this hidden cozy pub!!! Roast dinner was delicious , but due to the portion size couldn’t manage to eat it all. Staff were so friendly , but Fudge ( the dog) was the best company . Perfect place to sit in front of a log burner and enjoy a Sunday afternoon chatting with locals . Couldn’t have asked for more. Thanks again for hospitality, definitely will visit again

5* hospitality and very good food. From the moment we walked through the door we felt welcome, we arrived as strangers and left as friends. Lovely staff and landlords. They went above and beyond to accommodate our dietary needs. I wish we lived closer and this was our local pub. If you are staying in this part of Wales please visit, we can’t recommend them highly enough. If there were 10 stars they would be worth every one. Thanks guys, we hope to see you again one day.

A night to remember from start to finish. All the staff were so friendly and welcoming, with nothing too much trouble. We had the broccoli & cauliflower bake and the chicken madras curry. Both were delicious and followed by a melt in your mouth warm chocolate brownies and icecream. Caters well for veggies, vegans and those needing gluten-free. Modern, tastefully decorated dining area and modern, clean toilets also added to this 5 * experience. Can’t recommend highly enough - do try for yourself.

Came today for Sunday lunch Awsome landlady Very lovely waitresses Excellent lunch Great place Beautiful staff Great for all walks of life Highly recommend

We had a very pleasant meal in the garden. The three of us all enjoyed our food. Our puppy is still learning his restaurant manners but was made welcome. The staff were friendly and helpful.

What a find! Walking in the area as a solo female and this was such a friendly and welcoming place. The staff are fantastic - even when its busy, they are attentive and smiling. I am coming back!

My 3rd visit for a meal this year actually! Twice with a couple of friends, and also as part of a large group in between. Great food at sensible prices, and a warm welcome. Spotlessly clean with a modern yet quirky traditional decor, which fits well in this old Inn. And it's still kept the relaxed friendliness of a 'locals' pub. Totally recommend!

Looking for dinner close to our Cottage location we came across the Somerset Arms. A very warm and friendly welcome awaited us. Food menu was varied and very generous portions, reasonably priced. Great customer service all around.

Lovely pub, very welcoming atmosphere. Food was good, just pub grub but well presented and fresh, and good value for money. Staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble

The service was great. Very prompt and attentive. The food was decent if nothing spectacular. Quality ‘pub grub’. The beef burger was decent and the chips are nice quality. The fish and chips were nice portion size too.

What a lovely little find right on our door step. Lovely welcome, spotless modern interior . Sunday lunch was on point with great portion sizes, lovely sized garden ,dog and child friendly too. Even a bouncy castle in Nice weather. 5* from us

My wife found this little gem following a diversion off the A449 so we decided to take a little detour and see what it was like. On entry there was a little comfy bar to the right, as we where only having drinks we went in there. The staff where every welcoming and happy to help. The place was spotless and felt very homely. This was only a flying visit and we cannot wait to return with the family for food. See you soon

Burger was out of this world 🌍 highly recommend having this good value for money burger..and the steak was melt in the mouth 👌.. fabulous food and atmosphere thanks Somerset arms

Had a very good meal here recently in the bar with our dog. I had a really tasty veggie chilli and the Tiramisu cheesecake which was heavenly. My partner had soup and a massive burger which he enjoyed. Staff were friendly esp Jenny the landlady whom we had a good chat with. Good atmosphere, a great country local pub. Will visit again.

What a lovely pub to visit, such friendly staff and the food was excellent. The owners have done a wonderful job on the place and we will definitely be visiting again.

Take my mam for Sunday lunch, food was lovely and everyone was so hopefully and friendly would Recommend anyone going there. They have done the place up and it looks amazing.

Food pricey for what it is pub food, not bistro or restaurant meals, just pub food! Mains edible, ordered burger, scampy and chips etc, served on cold plate! Food cold before half way through the meal. Ordered bread and butter pudding, you needed a knife to smash your way through it, it was that incinerated. Fruit crumble was just as burnt and inedible. deserts abominable. Service ok, friendly enough staff. Drink but don't eat here!

Great service on arrival all smiles from bar lady. Easy order service, good old local pub with a modern touch. Clean and tidy toilets very clean. Good value for money will visit again great for lunch evening meal or just drinks. You have to visit!

I been coming here many years as a child, so I brought my partner to the pub when we stayed in Monmouth. The food is out of this world, the portion sizes are amazing and the staff are so so friendly. They are so welcoming. I wish them many years of success!

Stopped off unexpectedly and sat in their lovely garden . Had a garden meal which was vry tasty and fresh . Burger and salad well worth a try . Nice staff and overall a lovely afternoon and will certainly visit again . Ideal for families walkers dogs infact everyone indoors or out 💚

Had a great meal with 17 family members in the marquee - Jenny and her team went above and beyond to accommodate us, and looked after us so well. The food was great and everyone enjoyed their time there; all whilst keeping us Covid-secure too! Thank you Jenny, as it did not help that we were running late!

Absolutely fabulous… Jen welcomed three of us with our three dogs and looked after us Royally! Nothing was too much trouble. We sat in a beautiful garden surrounded by beautiful countryside. Our food was delicious… we wanted for nothing. What a great place… thank you

Just the worst food! Felt sorry for the waitress asking if everything was ok, she knew and looked nervous. We said yes ok as decided we will never return! Ever. Bland. Disgusting food! Already paid for but they won’t get return custom.

Saturday evening (19/6/21) worst meal I have ever had The chicken and ham pie was way over microwaved, all pastry no filling so dry without sauce or gravy. Staff made us feel like we were out casts I will never eat there again

Never eat here again ...the pork was reheated in microwave and was bending at the corner...looked like it was brought from deli counter already sliced... taste less.. the whole experience of the meal was terrible..the staff were very nice but the person taking thevmoney did not ask if the meal was OK at all

We walked 2 miles to this pub , because no Taxi's were available, from the A40 services ... after a 6 mile golf course walk ..... fantastic evening great food lovely people , Rob and Jen and Katie and the team made us feel at home. Rob even gave us a lift back to save us walking in the dark... rare to find a pub/ restaurant of this quality anywhere nowadays ... a big thank you .. we will return

Definitely recommend this pub for food and friendliness staff are great and nothing’s to much trouble. Our food was not only tasty but there was loads of it. The inside of the pub is really nice and looks like it has been Newley done.And all round lush pub ❤️

Amazing food. Jenny and Rob are amazing hosts. Friendly atmosphere. Good service. Always piping hot food.

I had booked The Somerset Arms as a destination for a birthday meal for my family and frankly wish we had gone somewhere else. We had a lunchtime meal and were the only people eating in the restaurant. The proprieter's family were in the bar. To be fair it was an appalling day with the weather with continual cold heavy rain and half of the beer garden at the back of the pub was under water.The menu seemed reasonably priced with a good range of pub food including a few choices for my vegetarian sister. The food was ordered, all items on the menu were available , and was served very quickly.Although nothing was badly cooked it was all very plain and tasteless. The potato skins seemed to have been fried in a cheap oil rather than grilled. The mashed potato tasted of margarine; a little butter goes a long way to inmprove the taste. The vegetables were again bland and tasteless (poor quality produce rather than fresh local vegetables). The chicken pie was nice but the steak pie seemed to have cheap meat rather than fresh local produce. The vegetarian cauliflower and broccolli bake was also bland and tasteless. The beers and drinks were fine with a reasonable choice.The desserts were reasonably good but portion sizes were a bit small. The premises had recently been decorated and to be fair looked very smart and modern. The landlady was pleasant and efficient. The premises were very clean.If customers are going to return again then the food has to be a bit more special than this. There is a lot of competition for pub food and this one was below par. I would suggest investing in a good chef who uses fresh local produce and makes the food more tasty, interesting and wholesome.

Overall a mixed dining experience. Excellent service by the waitress,bar attendant, severely let down by the kitchen who assumed that I must have been working for a reduced bill when my partially cooked fish was returned, claiming that it had been probed prior to delivery to my table. This attitude has led to this, my first review.

the food and service at the somerset arms is good quality and reasonably priced. you will enjoy a nice friendly atmosphere and a good choice of food and drinks. they have a loverly beer garden for sitting out on summer nights with play area for the kids. nice easy parking for the less mobile and certainly worth a visit. I would certainly recommend

Come here for a lunch meal with my family. The food was amazing the portions was great all homemade an reasonably priced. The beer garden is so pretty with plenty of benches. An plenty for the children with bouncy castle an a adventure slide etc. The staff were lovely.

This pub was a late change as the other place would not accommodate wheelchairs or children, we were warmly welcomed by the owner, bar/waitress staff, we were a family group including two in wheelchairs and a child under two, the lunch visit was not pre-booked, we had two jacket potato's, two chicken, ham and leek pie diners and a vegetable children's meal, the meals were all well cooked and presented, clean plates were the only things left when we finished. The meals were excellent value for money.

called in for lunch having picked my grandaughter up from school with my daughter.the day was cold but it was very welcoming with a nice fire going.been working to get the place up to gether quite a lot with the new owners,and they have have achieved itl the décor is excellent and with a log fire makes it very inviting. we have always had good food and served with very friendly service. it is worth giving it a try ,you will be very surprisedwith everything.

The staff at The Somerset Arms catered for our party of 16 easily and with a friendly attitude. The food was very good, and despite a variety of dietary requirements within our party all were well catered for.

We enjoyed a delicious and very filling Sunday lunch at the Somerset Arms we were a party of 7 and all of our meals were cooked to order and piping hot. The staff were lovely and attentive too. Would highly recommend a visit to anyone we will definitely be back.

We were the only people eating and only 3 in the bar. Ordered and food came quickly but unfortunately most of it wasn’t eaten it was dry and had no taste. Staff were uninterested and didn’t even ask why we had left so much food. No atmosphere, we will not be returning. Really disappointing used to have a good meal with other owners

very good food &friendly; staff.very different since new owners in. recommend it to anybody.a good selection on menu

Visitied here whilst camping nearby. Pub is clean with a lovely beer garden and childrens play area outside. Good selection of drinks, juke box, 2 big t.v.s to watch sport on and even a pool table. Staff very friendly and welcoming too. Food was a big let down. Chips lovely n crispy, salad fresh but the lasagne was tasted like it was made of a beef paste?!?! Only cheese in the lasagne was on top the rest was just beef paste. Would not go back for food. Lovely pub, so a big shame about the food.

Service was very slow and poor. The waitress was more interested in talking to her family than serving. When our meals came out the one steak was off and both were well done when we had asked for rare to medium. So I ended up Paying 14.95 for chips and peas. You were also had to keep swipping the flys away.

The location of the pub & the children’s play area was fantastic. The food on the other hand was terrible!!!! Chicken nuggets were like rocks & chicken in pasta was processed rubbish.

The outside area is great if you have a young family and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Sunday lunch was shockingly bad and they had no other menu available.

Staying at a nearby camp site and asked the owners about somewhere child/dog friendly for an evening meal and they advised that we should try the Somerset Arms, great recommendation!

Really friendly staff who make you feel very welcome. Butty Bach on tap which is always good. Enjoyed the Bar Snack meal (I had chicken nuggets & chips) ... they’re a great portion size! Nice outdoor seating in the garden. Thank you

Visited this afternoon with my wife and12 year old granddaughter having just come from mucking out the stables no one worried about appearances Wife and Grandaughter both went for Broccolli Bake and I had the Steak Pie all were piping both and delicious excellent and polite service good pint what more can you ask for

had food there only for the second time .both times very poor took over an hr to be served food...

Lovely staff and really good food Warm welcome and good choice of food and drink.Gemma is so friendly and handles the bar with confidence.

The food was nice but expensive for good pub grub, service fine and staff polite. I think if a cheaper lunch menu was available i would visit again.

He leído críticas negativas y positivas sobre los brazos de Somerset y recomiendo decir que estoy en el campamento de positiva.

A menudo hemos visitado este pub y disfrutamos de buena comida, excelente servicio y precios muy razonables en el pasado. Por desgracia, visitamos recientemente (la semana pasada) para descubrir que las cosas han cambiado mucho y para peor. Debe de haber cambiado de manos desde la última vez que estuvimos allí. La comida era totalmente comestible - patatas fritas congeladas que estaban crudas, gris, horrible de pescado, seco, que era puré de patatas "Smash" sospechosamente, un pastel con repostería y muy seco. Expresamos nuestra decepción sólo para ser recibido con una total falta de interés. Yo animaría a los clientes potenciales para comprobar cuando fueron publicadas comentarios positivos, como podrían ser, desde el momento antes de que el actual pueblo tardó más. No hace falta decir que nunca volveremos mientras estas personas están allí.

Visitamos en mayo de día y ver algunas mesas marcados como reservados preguntó si había mesas disponibles. Pedimos la carne asada, desde el menú del almuerzo de unos limitados para elegir. La comida era muy sabrosa, bien preparada y presentada. Para el postre elegí 4 capas pastel de chocolate y disfrutamos de todo. Sin duda merece la pena una visita y mirando el jardín exterior, muy adecuado para familias para pasar un tiempo allí. Volveremos pronto.

Fuimos allí para una comida de cumpleaños, ya que habíamos oído cosas buenas sobre ella localmente y no nos decepcionó. Había una buena selección de platos, tanto de confianza y algunos que eran alimentos básicos un poco diferente. Probamos dos de estos últimos, y ambos eran excelentes, generosos para repetir, cocinado a la perfección y delicioso.

Reservamos para comer y fue sangrienta horrible! ! Mi esposa tenía cóctel de gambas para empezar y las gambas eran duras y tenían un gusto químico, tuve paté o más conocido como carne de perro.

Aquí la comida llamado en la oportunidad, no lejos de donde me he mudado recientemente a y a menudo como he pasó por en la autovia de Newport miré en este lugar y nos pareció que era atractivo. El personal es muy amable y se...

Ha sido un usuario de armas somerset durante unos cuantos años, pero ahora tiene nuevos dueños supongo con nuevo personal de cocina. . Tuvimos una comida en el menú antiguo propietarios tuvimos que esperar más de media hora para la comida para llegar y no...

Hemos estado llamando a las armas desde agosto de 2016 tener Somerset se acaba de mudar a la zona. Cada vez que visita un montón de mejoras con la decoración del pub. La comida y la cerveza son geniales, Jen y Rob son tan acogedores...

Recientemente nos dijeron que este es un buen lugar para comida si estás en la zona de monmouth. La comida era excelente, el servicio y el personal del mismo volveremos para más

Visitamos el domingo con la familia. Escuchado buenas críticas de haber sido tomada con los nuevos propietarios.

Arrived at the Somerset arms a little after 1.30pm (early for our 2pm booking) no problem at all as we were welcomed and seated promptly with a drinks menu. Drinks orders and brought to the table (lovely waitresses/staff) we all chose beef with Yorkshire pudding which was a great choice and the vegetables provided were all fresh and piping hot. DESSERT: We had the most beautiful home made cheesecake with fresh pouring cream. Would definitely recommend this lovely little pub, it's family friendly and had the weather been warmer we would have eaten out in the garden and enjoyed the views. 10 out of 10 all in all and a great day all round. Would highly recommend the Somerset arms Dingestow, Monmouthshire

Went to the Somerset arms with family for a birthday lovely pleasant atmosphere staff very welcoming and couldn't do more for you. Meal was a home cooked Sunday lunch which was outstanding plenty of food we were a large group and all food was served together and was piping hot. Dessert couldn't resist homemade you can't beat it. Would definitely recommend and can't wait to go back.

Good friendly service food was excellent with a good choice the wait for food was good and when arrived it was piping hot and presented well nice relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a meal pudding board was very varied and was hard to choose had the cheesecake and must say was it was excellent

Went in for a look. We heard it had been taken over. Rita, bob, young rob and jenny are the new owners. Clean, homely and very welcoming. Food was very good with big portions. Look forward to seeing it next spring.

Pub with very little atmosphere and very limited menu. The wait for food was terrible and then it just went downhill. Barely medium portions and menu was restricted as chef did not cook some dishes until the evening.Service at the bar was shocking unless the barmaid was not in the kitchen or at the other bar. Food was expensive for what you got and had been reheated. The cakes for sale on a side stand were the only interesting things and reasonably priced. Should have bought one and brought our own forks.

Starters fresh from the freezer nothing home made about them, no fish in the fish & chips plenty of frozen fried chips nothing home made about them either. Steak which was sourced within 4 miles of the pub was overcooked and was very fatty, I suggest they ditch their butcher and go to Waitrose in Monmouth. After having given feedback still got charged the full amount. Seems that if you don't have the homemade steal pie then......don't eat there or be prepared to be disappointed. Service, well there really wasn't any to speak of......go to Monmouth and eat in town and avoid The Somerset if you can.

Just been taken over by jen and rob fabulous surrounds fab garden for kids and food is gawgus piping hot kids love it there Jenny Is so welcoming and friendly and nothing is too much trouble makes a fuss of children and will accommodate to anyone's needs we have a caravan down the road and love to have a walk down be it for a pint or food well done guys a pleasure to visit

We had heard good things about the somerset arms so decided to give it a go. It is a traditional country pub, none of your fancy stuff but that's how we like them. We both decided to order the steak pie, mine with mash and my husbands' with chips. The pie and the rest of the meal was outstanding - tasty, well cooked , plenty of it and well priced. We had decided to make it a regular when we found out the chef was leaving shortly so will try again but will have to wait and see what the new cook is like.

Beautiful setting with a bouncy castle for kids. I'm local but in all my years never went in. We went on a Saturday evening and the beer garden is great for kids...it is so beautiful out the back. The pub is tidy enough but the food was shocking. My wife had a curry and the kids burgers. The curry was clearly a frozen microwave meal and the burger looked horrid. Should have complained but we were in a bit of a rush to leave so left it. The staff were all friendly so if you can sort the food out you will have them coming from far and wide.

Us and friends were staying at a campsite nearby. We first went for an evening meal on Monday 27th June 2016 where we were welcomed by Jenny who is due to become the new landlady in a few weeks. She was so lovely and we had our 1st meal there. 4 meals ordered all different but all brought out very quickly and together, piping hot and really tasty. Desert just as nice. Great value for money. We continued to return for all but 2 of the evenings ( not their fault we had an emergency).

Came here for some food, haven't been for a while. Ordered potato skins for starters which were crispy and tasty they came with a nice salad a choice of dips. The waitress couldn't do enough to make sure I was happy. We ordered sizzling beef with half rice and chips with a side of garlic bread. My gosh the portion was huge and the food tasty and hot. The garlic bread with cheese was yummy with oozy melted cheese and was enough to share!! We had a game of pool after ordering and sat in the beer garden after we ate. A lovely evening!

nice meal at the somerset arms in dingistow tonight with some old friends that we catch up with 2/3 times a year shame we were made feel like the staff wanted us to leave after we finished eating and were having a drink and chat 8.30-9.00

The owners now have other interests and the food has gone down hill, ordered a Tuna baguette with chips today and apart from taken 45 mins with a near empty pub it turned out to be a lettuce baguette with very little tuna. Lost my custome.

went their sunday with my son and daughter-in-law &grandchildren I think they tought we were dogs. my son &granddaughter did not touch their dinners as they had to go away because of an emergency.so I asked if they could pack their lunches up some how so that I could warm it up when they got home.they said yes &scapped it all in a icecream container.the meal was not very good inany case. so we will not be going there again .should have read some of the reviews first we would have gone somewhere else.

Came in tonight for food, was amazing!! I had gammon and egg was really thick and juicy! My partener had stuffed plaice was to die for!! Staff were great!! 1 girl Ros stood out!! I had the fruit crumble for dessert was ace!! Will be back nxt week!!

I've been to this pub many times and have always received excellent service! Staff are frienfly and food is always quick and lovely.

Went in March for Sunday lunch as someone recommended it. OMG. It was so awful, we laughed all the way home. The meat was that vacuum packed stuff that keeps for years. The veg was tinned. And the pub smelt dirty. Very dated décor. It has to be the worst meal I've ever had. Would have been so much nicer going to Wetherspoons and that's saying something.

We live locally and have eaten here on several occasions as a couple and family, but have never managed to achieve a steak cooked "to order". All steak's come "Well Done" and that, is that! The mushrooms are tinned and definitely NOT cooked in butter as the menu suggests... Everything seems to arrive with inappropriately chosen vegetables/salad and if you eat on a Monday, its "taken as read" that you will receive Sundays re-heated vegetables with whatever you order... The food, decor and atmosphere are from the 70's, so expect this when you look at the menu. The area called the "Restaurant" has table cloths...but this is (from what I have noted) the only difference between it and the bar...? Born in mind that there are pool players/darts teams and a Juke Box only a few feet away, the word "Restaurant" doesn't belong here at all... Limited "Pub Grub" menu with lasagna/pies/bought-in Kiev's etc - the children s menu is as you would expect - nuggets/sausage and burger etc - all frozen goods. There are two "safe" options on the menu that we have found - pork steaks and the chicken/ham & leek pie, but that's it. The way in which you are greeted will depend on the mood of the staff and despite being relatively local, it took months for the "Mother" to speak to us! Although I understand that with such an influx of "out-of-towners" from the various local campsites, they must exercise caution with allowing tabs etc, for most honest folk, it is rather off-putting to be asked to leave a card behind the bar or pay up-front! This could really work as a "70's"/more traditional style pub, if only the food was better. This place needs an over-haul!

Had lunch today with elderly relatives . Although very busy so near to Christmas the service was good and food was delicious, two of us had the homemade pies one had scampi and the last one had chicken Kiev all meals were fine. We have eaten there before always good home style cooking. Only problem because it was so but there were a few inconsiderate drivers who parked badly and caused us to have great difficulty getting a disabled person back in the car, even though we had a disabled blue badge displayed. No fault of the Somerset Arms!

Lukewarm welcome,poor staff,45 minute wait for a meal that must have been under heat lamp for 15 mins.veg cool/cold meat overcooked, so why the wait?? If I can cook a Sunday lunch much better than this then why go out to eat? By the way the decor in the 'restaurant' was really from the 'artex' era!!

Today my partner and I visited for lunch. At the bar the lady serving commented on our accents. (We are from the South Wales valleys) my partner said " I don't come in here unless Iv been up this way fishing" and the woman said "ohh your the ones that don't pay" . We were both very offended by this comment thinking does this lady associate everybody who goes fishing to not paying! The lady then stated she was "joking" I stated I was going to pay before the food came and the lady said "it's ok leave your bank card here with me" clearly judging us from experience of fishermen not paying for food!.... As if we were both going to do a runner without paying! I couldn't believe my ears! I said no il pay for the food now! Food was paid for and ordered , when food came I ordered 2 lots of gravy only one came and when I asked for the second the woman stated "ohhh that's plenty!" By this point couldn't wait to leave! Very rude , food was pretty much frozen food with biso gravy! Absolute rubbish! Wouldn't recommend and most certainly wouldn't give them my money again! Appalling!

Had a meal there with the wife and friends meal average.overpriced for pub food.again for the 2nd time with my daughter and granddaughter.I tried the lamb shank in minted gravy.couldn't taste the mint.part of the shank was overcooked.the best part of the meal was the frozen chips.when the bill was presented I was asked if all was ok.I said the lamb was overcooked and a nasty taste.to the lamb.she smiled.again overpriced for pub food.next time weatherspoons in Monmouth.I would go there again for a plate of chips.good beers.

Visited last Friday for an early Fathers Day family celebration. Thankfully, we had booked a table for 7.30 as the place was extremely busy. We have all previously been here on numerous occasions so know their home made pies are the best in the area, also their cod is very good. But, as it was a special gathering 2 of us decided to order Chicken Kiev whilst our partners ordered Battered Cod and ChipsBIG MISTAKE!!!! The Chicken Kiev was round and looked exactly like a fish cake, I even felt it necessary to check when the waitress brought them to our table. Obviously processed meat didn't taste anything like chicken with garlic no sauce ran out and it was tough. As for the cod- again we are sure they were not fresh and from their usual supplier, probably from the freezer section.We were all very disappointed and if it wasn't for their fantastic home made pies we wouldn't return.

Four of us visited on a Tuesday evening. We didn't reserve a table but there was plenty of seating. The food was nice & there was plenty of choice on the menu.Homemade desserts are hard to resist! Again plenty of choice.The staff are friendly & welcoming. We will definitely call in again.

FIVE STARS............We visited the Somerset Arms last Friday evening and sat in the "front bar" with a group of workmen and our dogs. The atmosphere was excellent, the service superb, nice beer and fantastic food, so delicious, my mouth is watering thinking of it now. After a wonderful evening we left already talking about our pending return the following evening.< ONE STAR........We visited the Somerset Arms last Saturday evening having had a fabulous time the previous evening. We left the dogs at home and excitedly headed for the restaurant. Unfortunately we hadn't booked a table, our error, so gladly sat in the rear lounge. It was really cold so had to sit in our coats, not deterred we waited to be served. Then we waited a bit longer. And longer. Eventually, we gave our order and waited and waited........... a large group for the restaurant arrived so we waited some more. Finally three of our meals arrived. Two were average. The third was very unpleasant. Soggy pasta, one half mushroom and some chunks of chicken in an instant gravy accompanied by raw garlic bread, aka Chicken & Mushroom Pasta. It was totally inedible so was left, though admittedly no complaint made at the time. Finally the third meal arrived, the rare steak was well done. We thought it strange for the medium steak to arrive some 15 - 20 minutes earlier. Such a shame on the Saturday after such a fabulous Friday.Oh yes, I almost forgot about the drinks on Saturday, no I didn't... that's right, they were forgotten.

Went for Sunday lunch.The food was like you cook at home. It was great.Live locally, so will be going again more often.

Went here for a Christmas Meal. They opened up especially early for us because we were going to a party night in the local village hall there were at least 28 of us.They were very well organised, very good food and very nice staff. I had the home made curry (yum yum) Would certainly eat hear again. Thank you all very much. Tot notch place

We diverted off the main road en route to Cardiff from the north west as we've enjoyed eating here when staying in the area. It was a good decision: excellent and friendly service, freshly cooked food and good beer. The almond and blackberry slice was excellent. We also bought a cake to take away.We'll be back.

Went out for my friends birthday lunch on saturday, they have a meal deal on 2 meals for £12 and 2 desserts for £6, food and drinks well priced, had to wait for our lunch for awhile but we did have a big table, i had a curry and my fiance had a chicken and leek pie, both really enjoyed our meal, dessert was amazing i had bakewell tart and custard which was really good best i have had and my fiance had a ameretto and toberlone tart said it was really good. Def would go again, lovely little country pub.

A quaint country pub with a lovely garden and really good service. The food was absolutely delicious - the homemade cottage pie I had was one of the best I have ever tasted. I had walked two miles to the pub to eat and at the end of the night when I enquired about buses, the landlord very kindly gave me a lift back to the hotel. Great food and great service - an unbeatable combination. A little off the beatan track but worth seeking out.

Staff were polite , several things that we asked for on the menu were not available.Some of the food was served on sizzling platters, the trouble being the steak or chicken was like rubber as it had continued to cook on the platter. The prawn salad was just a prawn cocktail on a plate which tasted awful. The sultana sponge was just a slab of fruit cake with cream, and the gooseberry tart , was rubbery pastry and we called it hunt the gooseberry. We would never go here again,it was a total waste of money.

Love coming here with my little one great garden and play area , sometimes a bouncy castle, food is good pub grub at very good prices , fast service , will see you again soon

I left feeling deflated and disappointed. I've been here many times, never until now have I been disappointed! The food is lovely! No doubt about that. The service was appalling, im in my late 20s but being lucky enough to look slightly younger went against me here! Being the only ones in the entire pub having to pay for our food before having it! I was served the wrong drink to start off, but out of politeness I keep quiet and drank it. Surely that makes me a common theif who's going to eat and 'run' all this aside! A beautiful pub, highly recommend to over 70s who will receive respect!

We had a lovely meal and often come here but today the customer service for one of the waitresses was appalling! We felt very discriminated against because of our age, we was not allowed a tab yet everyone else in the beer garden was! Perhaps the younger generation should stick to McDonald's! Their customer service knocks socks of these!

Thought we'd give this place a try and glad we did. Their homemade steak pie is just as good as 'mummy would bake'. Cost was £14.00 for 2 persons even the veg etc was good. Nice staff and we will certainly be back.Well worth a visit and I'm sure you'll be surprised just as we were!

We have been visiting the Somerset Arms for about 4 to 5 years -sometimes only once a year -but have always had excellent food and friendly service.The pub seems to be a real ' local hub'and there are always locals eating and drinking there. The menu ranges from Salmon steaks to Vegetable curry;steaks to fish and chips.The restaurant is quite small but meals can be eaten in the garden too(which is a large grassy area with play equipment and beautiful flower borders) on several picnic tables overlooking the fields beyond.Everything on the menu is cookedfresh for you and the prices are so reasonable-especially if you take the meal deal ( 2 main courses for £12) .There are also lots of Home made cakes for sale -from Victoria sandwich ,Chocolate cake,lemon drizzle...yum yum!!A real gem of a place.

We dined here on 21st May 2013. We were just passing whilst touring the area. Pub does not look much from the outside but is lovely inside, extremely clean and nice decor. I had the best ever steak and ale pie and my husband had the best lamb shank he has ever tasted. The whole meal was locally sourced meat and fresh cooked by the lady cook. I only wish that I lived closer than Norfolk as I would make this my local. The beer was good and the staff friendly with excellent service. Tis free house was a very pleasant discovery, worth going out of your way to visit.

my husband and I stopped off for a drink in there large beer garden.decided to have a meal,which was lovely.the pub has a lovely atmosphere,any they also sell homemade cakes,which are scrummy.great place to go.

Stumbled across this little pub last Sunday Afternoon and had to write about it . We had one of the best sunday lunches for along time and it was so reasonable.It was a Sunday Lunch, just like my mum cooked with tasty gravy and lashings of pork,roasties,cabbage peas ,boiled potatoes To finish off we all had puddings (homemade) cherry pie with Ice Cream could have had cream or custard ,yummy We are cleared our plates The pub was packed .Guess that says it all!
