The Bell at Broadway in South Somerset

Super friendly staff and the lunch was fantastic. We will be returning.

Delicious stop off for lunch on our road trip. We had the fish & chips which were so tasty. A lovely stop if you’re in the area and looking for a pint or a bite to eat! Thank you, Martin for the kind hospitality!

Great food, plenty of choice, generous portion sizes, beautifully presented. Surroundings are very clean and tidy. Friendly bar and waiting staff offering prompt service. Busy at lunchtime but not oppressively noisy.

Burgers are great, brilliant service really nice people.

Table for two at lunchtime. I know this is unavoidable for all restaurants and in some ways its a good sign but I arrived here at 11:40am for a 12am booking to be met with a strong smell of disinfectant. Maybe its just my sensitive nose. By the time we ate at 12 40 the smell had all but dissipated. Not sure what you could do about that, maybe it was my timing. Two excellent rump steaks followed by STP with custard and a chocolate brownie with custard were excellent. My steak was maybe a bit fatty but it didnt spoil it. Much to recommend about this olde pub, especially the massive stone slab flooring.

So we called last minute on a friday as a party of 10 visiting the area, and they were so accommodating! They fitted us in, in a room almost to ourselves despite being heaving. There was a great vibe (some may say noisy), which we loved, but it did quieten down shortly after. The food was exceptional! It was easily one of the best Thai greens I've ever had. It was remarkable, but everything was great. The pizzas were soft and delicious, even the gluten-free ones! Only tiny criticism was the prawn and crayfish cocktail, which was maybe a tad overpriced for the size and content but was still good. Was such a great place we tried to book again for Saturday but no joy, unfortunately. The pic of the food doesn't do it justice, but we will definitely be back, and you should go too! Right now.... stop reading and book... go on, do it!

Lovely rooms and very good service. The walls are a little thin as my son pointed out to us at breakfast!! 🙈🤣

Dinner with a group on Monday evening. There was a lovely friendly atmosphere, everyone enjoyed their meal. We will certainly visit again.

Great stop off the A303 or M5. lovely food and drink in a great local pub atmosphere.

Did not stay so can't comment on rooms. Would have scored five stars but lost one due to the long wait for the main course after we had the starters.

Was visiting the area and decided to call-in and we weren’t disappointed. Lovely country pub, nicely decorated, friendly staff and fabulous food. we had two dogs with us and were made very welcome. We both had the burger which was delicious home-made crumbly burger not solid like you get some places and very very tasty. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely lovely pub! Great food expecially the pizzas! Lovely staff and very accommodating. Managed to get a table on a walk in which for a busy pub was very helpful! Very local pub vibes which is great!

A fathers day meal excellent, it was nice to see the owner after many years, staff very obliging and friendly

Fantastic service from start to finish Gorgeous food First time at the pub and we will be back

Good food, good atmosphere,friendly staff. It would be wise to book a table should you want a meal

Seriously impressed with this pub. Found it looking for a midway point for lunch on way to Devon. Food far exceeded expectations. Sandwiches are no ordinary sandwiches, excellent ingredients. Very generous portions and high quality food. Even sauce sachets were Stokes and great quality. The service and staff were so hospitable. Highly recommend. Highly recommend this pub for lunch.

Stopped here for lunch and couldn't believe our luck. Food so tasty, beautifully presented. Service absolutely perfect, friendly and helpful. Located in a pretty well kept village the building and decor are exquisite. We live 150 miles away and will make sure we return. Highly highly recommend!!

A very good local pub with excellent pub food. The local cider on tap is a must.

Had a stunning meal out here the other day with friends. I’m a steak guy usually but thought I’d mix it up and try something different. So I went for the Thai curry, which was really good. So much so I’m going to try and cook it myself!

BEST PLACE TO VISIT AT ILMINSTER!!

Often pop in for an excellent pint on the way home from work on a Monday. The beers are well kept, the staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is good. They have an interesting, reasonably priced menu, which I must try sometime.

Lovely pub. Great decor. Friendly staff. brilliant chef. Good music! Loved the pizza Diavalo. large plates, we will return!

A delicious meal today, with all six of us leaving very full and satisfied. We had vegetarian and non-gluten requirements in our party and the menu offered plenty of options for both. Dough balls, halloumi and spring rolls were all great starters, and the pizzas, GF fish and chips and mushroom burgers all went down a treat. Very friendly service and a nice dining room. Would definitely visit again.

Lovely little pub, stooped on our way through for lunch and really enjoyed… staff were so good and food was delicious

We stayed one night at Pub the Bell at Broadway. Very welcoming pub. Top notch atmosphere. The service was perfect for the meal and breakfast. Delicious food. Very friendly staff with children. Games corner. Kids friendly. We had asked to add an extra bed for a child. The room was a bit small but for one night it was sufficient. Very clean sheets and towels. Good bedding. We will come back.

Great atmosphere and lovely food.

First time me and my other half and visited and after work we decided to go in. It wasn’t overly busy and we were told food would start at 6pm. We were given a table off of the bar area. The lady who initially served us was lovely. We ordered food and when we said to the lady the mac and cheese was overpowered by mustard and it was inedible she said “well not much I can do” food was disappointing for the price and despite not hardly having a full meal we paid for both. The people stood at the bar were very loud and the conversation was at times awkward due to what was being discussed but due to the volume of the conversation we could not avoid it. Left feeling disappointed and sad to say we would not recommend or go back.

Excellent service ,exceptionally good food. really pleased we stopped there .

The room was very small and configured a bit awkwardly but it worked for us. All of the staff were absolutely lovely and did us well for everything we needed. Lovely pub and great food too.

Loved the food, enjoyed the ambience, but a bit overpriced. Will go again but just have less It was much enjoyed

What a gem of a place to stay. Super food, beer and rooms. Lovely staff. I will definitely be back soon.
