The Ashcott in Sedgemoor

So good, welcoming and comfortable place , the food was terrific and there was a great choice of gluten free food. We had soup and a burger - both amazing

Beautifully presented ! Broccoli and cauliflower cheese rock solid it hurt our teeth so bad to leave it Roasted potatoes anaemic Gravy was tasty but was like water Pork £25 !! Beef £19 🤷🏼‍♀️

Came for the first time last night after years of driving by on the way to the M5. Booked on the phone, great welcome on arrival. Dog friendly- a dog menu, next time we'll bring our dog before he has his tea! A varied menu with lots of choice. I had the steak which I upgraded to surf and turf. So tasty. Hubby had bangers and mash which he enjoyed. Will definitely come back again and again!

Amazing food! Good price, nice selection of ciders on tap, lovely service. All round lovely experience, will deffintly be visiting again!

We popped in on the off chance for a doggie friendly table for 2 and boy I am so lucky they had space for us. We were greeted by a friendly team of staff. The menu looked great with so many choices. My partner was so excited as they had whitebait on the menu so that was a must try...we was in fish heaven. We both then had the roast belly pork lunch...WOW simply outstanding and one of the best roasts I've had in 36 years of my life They even had there own doggie menu... We will definitely be returning to try more of thr very excellent menu Thank you Emma and Ash (table 6)

The best Sunday roast lunch we have ever had in a pub setting! It was just like a Christmas dinner with all the extra trimmings. Dog friendly, with their own menu!

What can I say other than the Sunday lunch was amazing, I am a big eater and had roast beef which was delicious but so much beef, I couldn’t manage it all. Cooked to perfection, well done. My partner had the roast chicken and loved it. Will definitely return, thank you Molly, very pleasant girl.

Perfect roast dinner with quick and polite service. We rang on Easter Sunday for a table and they fit us in last minute which was great. The roasts were absolutely perfect and we were so glad we came across it after going out for a walk. Would 100% recommend 👌

Lovely place to eat. Cozy atmosphere and very good food. Went twice whilst on a break in Brean. We all enjoyed both meals. A bonus is that they are dog friendly.

Superb Roast again, our go-to stop after another morning shopping trip at Clarks Village. We can't fault this venue; the food and service are A+++. Bringing all the family, and it didn't let us down. ❤️

Had what I thought was a lovely Sunday lunch - beef Had extra cauliflower cheese Partner thought it was off so declined- I had it and an hour later stomach cramps and in trouble for the rest of the day and next day not better. Emailed them - no reply AVOID

What a fantastic experience. Welcome was warm, food was exceptional and nothing was too much trouble. Otter Amber was great with a nice smooth taste

Very average, I'm afraid. But at least the bill wasn't high. Not "bad"... but far from good... apart from the ambience, which was pleasant, apart from being a bit crowded. Ambience perhaps helped by having our meal early... the room wasn't as blighted by noisy drunks as is too often the case these days. Service was slow, and entirely driven by server's electronic order pad. I'm not sure she looked at us once, and I am sure she never smiled. By the time she came for drinks order, we were ready with starters and mains orders, but didn't get a chance to order more than drinks, which were slow to come. Tried to order a drinks refill from someone who was clearing plates, she "couldn't" take. Tried to pay main server for the meal, "No, you have to pay at the bar." Food also: No "bad"... not good. Fried onion rings? Very like the ones I take from the freezer and heat in microwave.

What a Wonderful find! Welcoming pub with a very hardworking unflappable barmaid who worked well under pressure & did not bat an eyelid when dealing with a rather bothersome customer in front of me. Visited with friends & had a lovely time. Pub has a lovely ambiance with beautiful decor throughout. Choice of food from menu very good & when presented with good timely service was out of this world! Food full of flavour & was presented very well. Congratulations to the sous chef, you doing an Amazing job. There is even a ‘ doggy menu’ & pooches are made to feel welcome ( we didn’t have a dog accompanying us, but observed another group who had). Plenty of outside parking. We will Definitely be visiting again. Many thanks to the Ashcott inn for a lovely experience.

Went for lunch here today with friends and kids. Amazing food, welcoming, friendly staff and our bull terrier Brock thoroughly enjoyed his beef and veg followed by peanut butter ice cream from the ‘doggie menu’! I have a feeling this place will become a regular favourite for all of us and we will definitely be back soon! Thank you to all the staff for making us feel so welcome!

We live close and thought we would give it ago. Glad we did ! Husband was funny about the starter (mine was great) they took it of the bill without a thought or being asked ! Hubby had lamb shank for main and it was even taken of the bone (not many places do that). My veggie food was amazing and so nice a pub actually made an effort to try something different rather then VEG LASAGNA ...Boring !!! We never eat a full three course meal but did at The Ashcott. Well worth a visit ....my daughter is down in Feb for her birthday and we are booking a table!!!!

This is an absolutely excellent pub/restaurant. The menu is extensive, combining modern takes on old favourites with newer more contemporary dishes. For example, the 1970s favourite 'Prawn Cocktail' is reinvigorated in both presentation and taste to provide a lite but deeply flavoursome starter beautifully presented. We had the Christmas platter - it was called something different but I dont recall. It 'twas the night before Christmas (!) and it was a delicious potpourri of turkey, beef, cheeses and vegetables. Alongside the delicious food is a comprehensive wine list and a good choice of beers and lagers. Completing the triad is the service which is always first rate with a group of young, attentive, friendly and clearly well trained staff looking after us. A nice touch was Craig - owner and chef - coming out to greet us (and our dogs) as if we were old friends. On the issue of dogs; this is 'dog heaven' and all are welcome. There is even a separate dog menu. We have now eaten here on a number of occasions; three times on Christmas Eve and a couple of times with the family doing the year. The food, warmth of welcome and service are always exceptional. Highly recommended - just don't go on Christmas Eve as we don't want too many others crowding our yearly treat.

Had a lovely meal, staff were lovely and friendly very welcoming definitely will be back. The food was served properly.

Visited with a group of friends for a Christmas dinner. 2 of us have food allergies. We all agreed that the whole meal from start to finish was perfect. Delicious food, plenty of it with great service and we all agreed we would definitely be back another time. It was a joy to have a chat to the chef Craig and have him really understand and appreciate food intolerances outside the standard. It was a delight to be able to choose from the full menu.

Haven't been to the Ashcott for a few years. We decided to book a table for lunch on our way back from a morning of shopping. I have to say I was very impressed with the whole experience from start to finish. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. We both enjoyed plentiful meals so much so we couldn't squeeze in a dessert but that's just us. We will definitely be back soon and would thoroughly recommend as a great place to eat

Booked a Sunday lunch. 5 belly of pork and 1 beef. Beef was delicious and very tender meat. Veg was piping hot and very tasty. Belly of pork beautifully presented on the plate and was delicious. Staff are very knowledgeable about the menu and run a great show. Would highly recommend

Another superb meal....took visiting friends for first time they loved the quality and presentation. Cheers once again.

We celebrated our anniversary here with a Sunday lunch this weekend. The food is great, staff are fantastic, and they’re dog friendly. What more could you want?! Will definitely return if we are back in the area.

After a gap since we went to the Ashcott, our fault not theirs, we have been again recently a few times. Took our son and his wife and both men reckon it was the best steak we have had for a long time, daughter in law had a prawn dish which she loved. On all recent visits my wife has stuck with the beer battered fish she said it was so good,I have also had the ale and steak pie which was excellent. So many other tempting dishes on the menu must try some more soon.

We stopped by for lunch on impulse. As soon as we walked in we were warmly welcomed by an excellent, friendly waitress who seated us and expertly explained the options and some changes on the menu, devised in response to that day's availability of fresh food (always an excellent sign), before bringing us our drinks. There was a lot of choice, we had trouble choosing from some tempting options. I did not want a huge meal so chose a chicken skewer starter with a side of fries, my husband chose the fish and chips. When the food arrived I knew as soon as I spotted the clearly home made sun dried tomatoes on my attractively presented salad plate, and the snipped chives and garnish scattered on the fries, that this was not going to be the usual run of the mill pub meal. The food was absolutely delicious, definitely a cut above the average. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and, when the chef appeared behind the bar, had a very enjoyable chat about the cleverly designed menu, and food in general, that sent me home inspired for an afternoon's cooking. Fortunately we don't live far away so, delighted to have discovered this gem on our doorstep, will definitely become regulars. Thank you!

Had Sunday lunch here today, for a birthday celebration. Cannot rate it highly enough, the service was exemplary and the food first rate. The staff really couldn't do enough for us, including hiding then bringing out a special cake for us. I look forward to going again. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Fantastic meal as ever, the service was faultless and Craig the owner/chef is incredibly friendly and personable. I can’t recommend this establishment enough. So many pubs have static menus however at the Ashcott Inn the menu is fantastic and as for the specials board, it never disappoints. Already looking forward to our next visit. 🥰

Well done Faye and Craig went for a meal with some friends and the lights went out. Did they panic no no they didn't out came the candles and we were able to carry on enjoying our meals. Not like Wether spoons in Tiverton where they told everyone to leave. Up the Ashcott.

Weekend break,what a find,amazing tasty food,food for everyone.had the hunter burger,but could not decide quickly,lovely fresh well presented plate of food.would reccomend ,to anyone to pop in.gluten freeand vegan.oh.and a doggie food menu.

Some weeks ago I phoned asking if the Gluten Free Lunch Menu was always available. I was told that it was, and that, in addition, there were some Gluten Free options on the Main Menu. Having explained that two of the party would be ordering from the Gluten Free Menu I made a lunchtime booking. On the day there were no Gluten Free Menus on the table and I requested one. The waitress, seeming supremely unconcerned, said that they had stopped doing this ‘some time ago’ and that there were Gluten Free Options on the main menu. None of these appealed to me as a lunch meal, like many people my appetite has decreased with age. Whilst we were in the restaurant my brother-in-law went online and found the Gluten Free Menu that had caused me to make this booking, and contained several dishes that appealed to me. I went online an hour ago, and today, two weeks later this menu, which they allegedly had stopped doing, is still advertised on their website.

Stopped on way back from a visit to World Horse Welfare farm with a friend. We asked if we could still have food as it was well after 1.30 and were met with friendliness and a yes! Menus were explained clearly to us and the waitresses were warm, professional and knowledgeable. The place is spotless and welcoming with cosy touches. We sat outside in the lovely beer garden and our food arrived swiftly. We could not fault it. Beautifully cooked and presented. We thought it very good value. Staff checked all was ok and we were happy. Which we most certainly were. When next in the area I will absolutely make a point of returning.

En route to Bath and saw the Ashcott Inn and decided it looked like a good place for lunch, and it was! Delightfully served at the bar and table by two young ladies and their personalities complimented the well presented and very tasty food. If you choose a sausage crusty roll, as I did, it is a light crusty baguette filled with tasty sausages and onion chutney. The “brown sauce” was also presented well, see the photo. Compliments to the kitchen team for great food.

Been here before twice, but had to review after the superb Sunday lunch we had today. Normally go elsewhere for a roast but tried here today as the other two visits had been good. What a good decision and will be our go to now as it ticked all the boxes. Well done it was so tasty and service matched the food.

Had the lIMy friends and I were a little disappointed amb Sunday lunch, it wasn't bad but it needed a little more TLC, the veg was cooked well, as was the pork belly, however the lamb was not to our taste, it consisted of one cutlet covered in a spicy crumble, the roast potatoes were very small and very dry. I think at £21.95 it was overpriced, it needed to be perfectly cooked for that price,

Our third visit this time with 8 family adults. Chef Craig prepares and prepares a wide menu of quality food presented to an exceptional standard well above the standard of other local establishments. The restaurant has a homely atmosphere, friendly staff and an enjoyable meal...

Super Somerset Hostelry. Unspoiled country pub, very dog friendly to compliment people friendly. Four of us had Sunday Lunch. The food was out of this world tasty, made all the better by the welcoming ambience. One hundred percent recommended.

Arrived without booking and the lovely friendly staff got us a table. All food was lovely and a great choice available. Didn't feel rushed to leave and everyone was friendly. A lovely experience

Very few places, particularly in Central Somerset offer such consistent levels of service and creative quality dishes - perfectly cooked and presented. Fine dining in a very friendly pub - what more can you ask for.

The three of us had lovely meals and the staff were very helpful. Really enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend. The doggy menu is a great touch.

Great food more like a top restaurant rather than a country pub. Definitely worth a visit and we’re planning on returning before our journey home to Suffolk. Thanks for the hospitality and fabulous food!

Today we had lunch at the Ashcott, the food was amazing, beautifully set out, good quantities and excellent quality. The best steak pudding that I have had for many years. Friendly service. I would definitely recommend a meal there.

Ordered 2 pints, we heard the manager whisper to the barmaid “fill half with soda water”. So when we got them, they were fizzy and tasted watered down. Asked and charged for 2 double spirits, was definitely given singles. Awful service
