We noticed it has new management so we stopped off here last night for a meal..The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble..The meals we had were just superb..So delicious, reasonably priced and ample portions..A very nice and clean place..We came back today for the Sunday roast. Wow ! it has to be the best one I've had for a long long time.

After a morning at East Somerset Railway (15 August 2024) we stumbled across the Thatched Cottage Inn by chance and popped in to ask if they were serving food at 14:50. We received the warmest and friendliest welcome that we could have wished for from the two male staff members that we met (NB they have recently taken over so dont be misled by out of date reviews). Luckily the kitchen was open and all 3 of us chose the fish and chips which was wonderful. Lovely fish, great chips and mushy peas, all really well cooked. Great dining experience and good value. We are now thinking of going back (from South Wales) for their Friday music night and staying over.

Avoid .. turned up at lunch time around 10 of us, a bit early so waited in car park. Watched the manager speed in to car park and clean his rear window of his car! Then rushed in & opened the pub. We walked in to this guy (the manager I'm assuming) saying who are we ?? Mmm .. customers!! To a sign saying no food today, so we decided to have a coffee & drinks!! Hardly any draft drinks on & coffee machine not even turned on!! Waited ages for our drinks & the guy serving us was shaking, so coffee being spilt!! It's an amazing looking pub inside & out but new manager not so good. Sorry would love to score it highly but no customer service at all, we felt like we shouldn't of been there!! 😞

We thought we’d try the thatched cottage after seeing they were under new management. The menu looked great, e we had the fish and chips, and the braised pork belly. Both dishes were tasty, good portion size, and good value, very happy. Will come again.

I had such a wonderful stay with the warmest of welcomes from all staff. The new owners were absolutely incredible and generous. I felt so safe and respected from them - they upgraded our room and offered us breakfast given that the previous owners had messed up our booking and out of the kindness of their hearts they honoured the deposit we had originally paid despite them not having received it when they brought the hotel. They has made clear efforts to make our stay perfect with new towels and the comfiest bedding. Welcoming us with warm smiles everytime we came in and really personable customer service throughout! I have every confidence that they will make the place delightful over time ☺️ Would highly recommend this hotel and encourage everyone looking at it to forgive any negative reviews whilst the transition from old to new owners was happening as it was totally out of their control!!!

We were on our final part of our journey down to Shepton mallet prison and we stumble across this gem of a pub. We had such a warm welcome from the new landlord. Who told us they hadn't long taken over. We had drinks and a few snacks and decided after meeting chef to stay for dinner. Food was really scummy and good value for money. So much on my plate. Yum. The staff were so friendly welcoming the pub itself cosy clean and beautiful. Good luck guys for the future and your new adventures. If we are down your way again we will definitely stop and say hello and enjoy your company and food again.

Do not pay up front, Booked here in December for our 40th Wedding Anniversary, paid up front for 3 nights, only to arrive from Australia and discover the Thatched Cottage was closed for renovations. The last landlord had scarpered with our money. We didn't get to stay. Have started the process of attempting to recoup my funds. We did however find a great place to stay but was in near Cheddar at The Swan Inn Somerset, Butcombe.

The most bland and least amount of effort food I can remember. Paid £24 for a steak that was literally a bit of steak and some deep fat fried chips and 2 half cooked tomatoes. They just do not care at this place about presenting the food or anything but what I says on the tin, ask for steak and chips and you will get literally a bit of plain steak and plain chips. My Mum had a burger and chips and the only flavouring was the cheese. Bland, boring and overpriced. Service was good. Beautiful building such a shame and waste could be great.

This place could be lovely but it is so clearly unloved. From the outside it looks like a beautiful thatched cottage with ample seating. It has beautiful features like fire places and doorways. Unfortunately this was ruined by the Christmas lights still being up, years old covid posters in the toilets and a slight uncleanliness about the crockery and cutlery. Even the seat cushions were water marked and table had an oily film. We stopped by for a bite to eat at lunchtime, however unless we wanted a large meal, the only lunch options were sandwiches. Cheese and onion, cheese and tomato or ham and chutney. They were served on cheap supermarket bread with crisps or chips and no hint of a side salad for £10 each. The staff were polite and friendly except when we overheard a rude response when someone asked for the WiFi. This place has so much potential but I won’t be returning.

Absolutely superb, only an overnight stay for business, managed to get there early enough for lunch and had a superb Sandwich, just the trick! Did some work in a quiet corner and then had lovely dinner, the steak was cooked to perfection. Room was clean, comfortable and warm, breakfast did the trick the next morning. Brilliant! Staff great!

We used to use the pub every week for our Ukulele group. It was fine and we were treated well by the owner/manager. However this week when we asked for a drink 8.50pm we were told that the bar was shut, when this was questioned we were told to f*** off, and then another member of staff came over to tell us that we should listen to the bar staff and f*** off. Following this and a few days later a member of the group called the pub to speak to the manager. We didn’t speak to the manager, but another member of staff and again was told to f*** off and the “C” word was used and we were called peasants!!! So a perfectly nice enjoyable pub has gone rapidly down hill due to very rude staff.

Unfortunately this pub seems to have changed hands and is now nothing like it used to be. For a start the roasts used to be £13.95 or two courses for £18, it’s now £18 just for the roast, and £8 for dessert! The food was nothing to write home about, we had one single carrot with our roast dinner, and one parsnip cut in half. Not as good as it used to be, didn’t even have napkins put on the tables or salt and pepper so had to get them ourselves. Also they seem to have done away with paper menus and just write it on the blackboard now, which we were sat in a different room to… We used to go here often for family meals but think this will be our last visit unfortunately.

We have eaten here previously and it was good. Today was not so great. Pleasant staff in a lovely pub with a welcome fire on a miserable day. We had checked the website before booking and on arrival were handed a single sheet of A4 paper listing a Brunch Menu (for a lunch booking), which bore no resemblance to the advertised menu on their website. Staff advised that the website is "two years out of date." We chose their beef burger, which was a very disappointing choice. Small dry bun, a dry, tasteless burger, and a "cheat basket" of chips (we believe they are served in a chip basket to disguise the mean quantity served!). We asked for mayo, but they had run out! The young lady did come to ask us if the food was OK, but we had only just started eating it, so we were unable to really comment. £16 is a complete rip-off for this food offering. The ladies' loos were a disgrace. Water all over the floor and no loo paper. We were seemingly the first people in the pub that day, so we find this unbelievable. I told the young lady about the lack of loo paper early on in our visit, but nothing was done about it. We are former publicans, so we understand the issues faced by pubs, but this level of service is unacceptable these days. If we are spending £90 on four burgers and a few drinks, we need to feel that we've enjoyed value for money. This was, most definitely, not. A very disappointing way to end our Christmas break. Other pubs are available.

No heating on when we arrived. No wood for the fire they had run out. Restaurant was freezing and closed before 8 30 so couldn't have a third course. Breakfast in morning dried up. they then overcharged my bill by £30 with someone else drinks 4 star I don't think so.

Our weekend here felt like a Fawlty Towers experience. Although the rooms were fine, the bar and restaurant were chilly and left a lot to be desired. The top of the stairway was obviously being used as a storage area and was unsightly. The watch words in both the bar and restaurant seemed to be "sorry, we don't have that!" Despite them being on the bar menu, there were no pork scratchings, no twiglets, only one draught beer and an extremely limited wine selection. I'd checked the dinner menu on the website before booking and was disappointed to find that this had been replaced by a far more expensive menu. Our first selection of salmon fish cakes was apparently unavailable. The curry was fine but a small portion for £16 and the steak was very poor for £23. At breakfast the toast was brought out but with no butter. It transpired that there was no butter or margarine available whatsoever which was quite unbelievable when you're offering bed and breakfast. We felt so sorry for the poor young waitress who was having to deal with all these issues and managed to keep smiling throughout. It's a real shame as the building itself is lovely but it feels like the management has given up.

We selected this hotel for a weekend away. Turned out to be extremely expensive for the standard provided In my opinion. Room rate was £89. Breakfast was £21.90 each. At the end of our stay the vibe was of a poorly managed and struggling hotel. No butter for the toast for breakfast!!! I felt sorry for the young waitress being put in the position of having to deliver this news, which is a never event in my opinion. I wasn't about to complain to her, she was so embarrassed but dealt with it with grace. In the evening we sat in the bar waiting for our table reservation, several people enquired about tables for an evening meal. One person asked for a table for six. Bar staff said they'd ask the chef... who said no, most bizarrely, as the restaurant was empty. Extremely strange. Our Room became smelly as above kitchen extractor. Ovens smelt dirty & at one point the fire alarm went off briefly. No Jack Daniels behind bar, a small matter to some. Room was spacious but unclean, cobwebs, dirty grout in bathroom and limescale on taps. Plus points Comfy bed. Food was hot. Nice burger. We would not go again.

Carelessness from the manager and chef… I ordered a glass of wine and it was goegen to me with dust on the outside of the glass ? I asked for a new one and again it was covered in dust.. There was a small set Sunday menu where I chose chicken roast there was No mention of bacon and it was served WRAPPED IN BACON !! The manager said that they can’t do much as it’s a temporary chef ? - it’s simple either change the menu or don’t serve chicken with bacon when it’s not on the menu? I personally don’t eat bacon due to my intolerance (Ibs) only white meat so to see my chicken smothered in bacon/ bacon juices was a joke since it’s not what I ordered… the rest of the Sunday lunch was served cold the lamb was cold barely any gravy on the dish and no choice for extra. Huge crusty Yorkshire pudding covering the plate, the stuffing was a paste that was NOT mentioned in the menu. Over all the manager said she can take of a small glass of wine off the bill but for £15 for a roast where you don’t get what’s ordered is shocking she blamed it all on the temporary chef ! Won’t recommend to anyone with food allergies/ intolerances as you will get the wrong order …

On arrival at the thatched cottage, we were told that we didn’t have a booking. The manager then rudely demanded some evidence of our booking (which was via email and confirmed by management) and then told us that even if they could seat us they didn’t have enough food. After the initial stubbornness from the manager about our booking being valid, she then said that this happens all the time - so really there was no need for her rude, abrupt demands of the booking evidence, a polite ‘let me look into this’ or ‘could you let me know who you booked with’ would have been sufficient. The chef did try to book us a table with another local restaurant, but 16 people for Sunday lunch without a booking is going to be a struggle! Safe to say that we won’t be returning to Shepton mallet’s fawlty towers.

We’ve just spent a wonderful overnight stay at this lovely little bar/restaurant/rooms. The room was spotless and had all amenities such as iron, tea/coffee and hairdryer. The bed was lovely and comfortable and we had a very good nights sleep (including an extra hour when the clocks changed). We had a meal in the restaurant which was delicious and good value for money. Breakfast was well cooked and well presented but be aware you do have to pay extra but was well worth it. Full English with all the trimmings. The bar and restaurant area was very olde worldie so don’t expect luxury surroundings but it was comfortable and more than adequate. Just a pity that we were the only ones partaking of the delicious food prepared by Bailey, the chef. Fleur, the manageress, was so friendly and welcoming and couldn’t do enough to make our stay so enjoyable, ably assisted by Kayla the lovely young waitress. If you are looking for a friendly, very clean, comfortable accommodation, you couldn’t wish for better than TheThatched Cottage Inn. Well placed to take advantage of the local area (we visited Shepton Mallet Prison just down the road). Highly recommended.

Stayed here for 2 nights B&B with one evening meal. Pro’s - The guy running the place is extremely friendly and has a pleasant manner. We were served by the same young lady both for evening meal and breakfast and we have to say she was also very pleasant and polite. Cons - Having stayed here about 9 years before, the place has gone downhill. Our room “Godminster” was spoilt mainly by lack of cleanliness. After some water had got past the shower curtain ( over bath), it was dabbed up with the bath mat towel which revealed just how filthy the tiled floor was. See photo. There were long standing well established spiders webs in the bathroom and on the ceiling. Skirtings we’re shabby and dirty. The wardrobe was old and hand painted the finish was chipped. On the plus side the bed was super large and was comfortable. The TV was well placed and worked well. Unusually the bathroom had 2 sinks within the bathroom which was quite good. The room could have been made much better with some attention to detail, some fresh paint and a deep clean !!!! Evening meal - service itself was good, and staff were polite. We ordered pork chops with new potatoes, cabbage bacon and peas. We were both disappointed, particularly with the pork chop. I’m really not a fussy eater, and easily pleased so for me to say the chop was unpleasant really means it was. Cost was £16.00 Would I return - I’m afraid I have to say I would not. I paid £89 per night to stay in a dirty room which incidentally was not serviced at all. The tea, coffee and milk were not even topped up.

Had my wedding reception here in the function room and garden. The food was absolutely fantastic, and the bar staff kept the drinks flowing on an incredibly hot day. There were a few minor hiccups, but the landlord and staff handled it in their stride and invited us back for a meal on them to make up for any inconveniences. Will definitely keep the thatched cottage in mind for when we celebrate our anniversary ❤️

The sign says open all day for food from 12, how misleading. Arrived at 12.15pm to be asked if we had booked, we hadn’t. Was then told couldn’t order until 1pm. Went back at 1pm to be asked the same question & then told no we couldn’t order food. They weren’t exactly fully booked or even close. No customer service or explanation as to why food wasn’t available, but the sign needs to be changed as it’s not worth parking the car.

Wouldn’t normally post on here but any lack of management at the establishment or anyone member of staff who seemed to care means I have to write on here! Shocking service - miserable took 45 mins to get a drink & we had to go to the bar & interrupt their conversation to get one! The glasses were dirty with lipstick still on them The food arrived an hour later & we didn’t get all the veg ordered. When we asked about it she said I only put you down for 1 & then said I will knock your drinks off the bill (as if this was something they regularly do) no apology. We noticed a table behind us have similar issues & a group at the bar as we left querying their bill & service. So poor

Sadly we had a disappointing meal here having previously enjoyed food of a much better standard. The manager Martin was not on duty and I’m afraid it really showed. My scampi was dry and over cooked and my husband’s Chinese style curry (????) was tasteless. We mentioned this to the waitress who was clearly rushed off her feet and she told the chef, who sent his apologies. This won’t stop us from trying again though as we have had good meals here in the past.

The Thatched Cottage Inn, Shepton Mallet, Somerset is a lovely accommodation, an excellent food, a bit on a higher price, an excellent personal service by Martin, a manager as well as Ken another manager, both managers are very welcome and very friendly. A cooked breakfast in the morning served with a smile. Parking is free and secure, Wifi is free but it doesn't always work in rooms above the pub. I would like to recommend this accomodation to everyone who is in the area.

A limited menu of traditional English culinary delights means the team running this establishment know what they are doing in gastro pub style. All reasonably priced. A beautiful Shepton Mallet Greene king pub that we found with a car park big enough to park our motorhome. Stopped for lunch & the sandwiches were fantastic. The best BLT( wholemeal or white), with a lovely dressed salad & nicely seasoned French fries, that i've ever had. My partner had the cheese & chutney version. This was washed down with a pint of their own in-house ale which was top notch. A well run establishment that was immaculate both in decor & vibe. Staff were great which made this a wonderful find.

Great breakfast. Had the full English which was included with the room. Each item on the plate was great quality and cooked perfectly, a great start to the day. The local area can be explored on foot, near the Thatched Cottage are a cider brewery, an old prison and an arched viaduct.

We had such a great dinner here, we went back the next night! Lovely welcome, a good menu (not too much on it but something for everyone) and really really good food. We had burgers, lasagne and steak, plus puddings. We stayed up the road but we'll be booking rooms here in the future. Only downside... No 75cl bottles of prosecco! But we struggled on. Oh - and two of our group are coeliacs and they were extremely well looked after. Quite a lot of the menu was either gluten free or adaptable, with good bread options. 100% recommended.

Booked a private room as we were celebrating as a large group with noisy children. Room was perfect and meant we could enjoy a family meal without having to worry that our children were disturbing others. Food was lovely, freshly cooked and tasted great . Only taken off one star as portions were a little small for the men in our party.

We turned up without a booking but was able to get seated after a 15 minute wait on a Friday night. The menu was quite small but everything was made from fresh. The burgers, coleslaw delicious and the onion rings were huge! We both really enjoyed our meal. The service was good with friendly staff

Booked Sunday lunch for ten people celebrating my birthday. We enjoyed the privacy of a separate dining room and the food was really enjoyable. The staff were very pleasant, service good and very good value for money. Would thoroughly recommend Sunday lunch and a good venue for holding a party.

The menu on our visit was very standard pub fare - burgers, steak, scampi, lasagne and a vegetarian option. I was a little disappointed that this seemed quite ordinary but the food we ordered was well cooked and presented. We did enjoy what we had....
