The Bell Inn Restaurant in South Somerset

You never know what you’re going to get when you try a pub en route to somewhere but this place is a delight. The pub itself seemed full of smiling locals and despite it being April the fire was roaring to keep the rained on guests warm and dry. The restaurant seating is further back - felt less like a pub and with eclectic decor but a good vibe nonetheless. I ordered the beef burger and my husband the chicken burger. Both absolutely delicious. In fact it’s been a long time since I enjoyed such a good burger. The fries and little side salad were also excellent. If passing through this area of Devon again, I’d happily re-visit!

We visited the Bell for Sunday Lunch on a recommendation and were not disappointed. The staff were extremely friendly and the service was very good. My wife is Gluten free and were pleased that she could have all the Sunday Roast on offer - indeed, there was an extensive choice of deserts as well. Particular praise for the beef. We will come again!

Nice and friendly place. Good food prepared when ordered. They have a pizza oven! Great pub you must try if you are on the 303 and need a rest. Maybe worth a call to see if they have space.

Sunday lunch with 7 friends and 3 dogs. Great tasty food. Empty plates all round! Fantastic service. Warm cosy pub. We will be back

From the moment we walked in the service was amazing, we hadn’t booked but the team managed to squeeze us in. It didn’t disappoint, fun decorations for Halloween and the food was delicious! We will be back!

Popped here for the first time in a couple of years. We received a friendly welcome despite not having booked - very accomodating! The staff couldn’t do more to help and we were served promptly. Menu had a great selection including specials. Food was fantastic- best Thai green curry I have had, very authentic. We will definitely be back and could not recommend more. Priced appropriately.

Fantastic roast dinner couldn't fault anything. Friendly and pleasant staff. Wouldn't hesitate in eating here again. Highly recommend.

Went for Sunday lunch today. Excellent food but slightly overpriced. An additional £1 for beef ? And at £18 per adult? £13-15 more realistic plus £7.50 for dessert. 2 courses £20 would be realistic.

Fantastic Pit-Stop on way to Cornwall Booked this to break the journey after extensive Research on location, ambience, food etc and was definitely not disappointed! The rooms do the job, very small but that is clear on the website- perfect for a base around Somerset, Devon, or Cornwall as the pub, staff, food, atmosphere amazing! Would highly recommend- will definitely be back!!

Just stopped off for lunch en route home from our holiday. Lovely place, spotlessly clean, gorgeous food and a very warm welcome.

Lived locally my whole life but never visited strangely. Kept seeing posts of the food from one of my Facebook friends and knew it was one we needed to try! On arrival we all commented on how nice the pub physically was & my sister’s partner was super excited by the stone baked pizzas. We had a fantastic night, the food was superb with a great variety of options for all tastebuds. All the staff were friendly and the waitresses super attentive. Really couldn’t fault it and will definitely be back again. Our new favourite place ❤️

Travelled down from Suffolk for work. Staff were friendly and hospitable on arrival. Room was clean, and spacious enough for a couple of days stay over. The rooms are serviced every day by a lovely lady who lives across the road, as well as breakfast in the morning cooked or continental style (your choice). The actual pub it self is warming, fresh look, and inviting. The food was great, and had a nice choice to choose from. I do recommend trying their pizzas as they have a pizza stove on site with a great range of toppings.

Went on Thursday evening with 5 girlfriends .We were served by the lovely Jamie really lovely smiley guy he was just great . It is a lovely pub well worth a visit I will definitely return great range of draft beers and ciders . The food was lovely 3 had the caesar salad 2 had the mushroom and halloumi burger including myself it was delicious and one of us had the chicken burger all of us were very happy with our meals.The pizzas looked good as well . The puddings looked lovely but we all settled on ice cream as it was Styles and I just love ice cream it was very good . My one recommendation would be to put the prices on the blackboard for the cost of the deserts as poor old Jamie had to keep looking it up on the till . But a brilliant pub in a great location with very good staff .

Went for a meal to symbolise the last night of our holiday and enjoyed it thoroughly. The layout of the pub is extremely welcoming and well presented and the staff are all friendly and cheerful. We ordered a garlic bread to share between us and we’re thrilled at the brilliant taste. To finish I had a pizza and was extremely impressed by the quality to which it was cooked at (they have a pizza oven especially for delicious pizzas) overall amazing experience would gladly go again!

Had a wonderful lunch at The Bell today. What a lovely experience. The food was top notch. Must recommend the monkfish scampi. The starters were all home made and so tasty. I also must say how delightful all the staff were, especially Anna who could not have been more helpful. Well done team.

We visited the Bell at the weekend, and had a lovely time, and cannot say a bad word about the girls serving and running the bar. We ordered some pizzas on recommendation that they were worth trying.

Visitamos este buen establecimiento última semana 03/08/14, el pub tiene una muy cálida y acogedora. Buena selección de cervezas y vinos y una comida fantástica. Teníamos un 9 meses de edad en nuestro grupo de seis, pero nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos, y pudimos disfrutar de una agradable y relajada comida. El propietario me dijo que él y su esposa se encontraba allí un año, y que habían trabajado duro para que sea un buen pub para los lugareños y turistas por igual. Bueno, puedo decirles, que creo que se han logrado sólo eso. Tengo una queja, y es que no viven en el pueblo, ya que creo que estaría allí cada día. Enhorabuena a los dos

La comida era muy buena y el servicio eficiente y amable. Había una atmósfera relajada y feliz es claramente un lugar popular para comer y pudimos ver por qué. Me gustaría ver más opciones vegetarianas si me estaba planeando pasar allí unos días, sería difícil tener variedad.

We arrived late but the landlord was very accommodating. Food was standard pub fare but tasty and good choices for the kids. Good stop over on way to Taunton.

Fui allí con mi madre en el mediodía del viernes esperando a ser bastante vacío. No - de oportunidad que tenía seis mesas en la sala de estar principal del bar y cuatro eran ya ocupada. bebidas ordenados y luego comida. Tuve el faggot, puré de patatas y guisantes y mi madre había quiche, ensalada y patatas fritas. Ambos eran absolutamente excelente, y el faggot era el mejor que he probado nunca. Las patatas fritas eran obviamente casero como era el quiche. El pub es cálido, acogedor y muy agradable. La sala de estar es muy confortable y hay un montón de en un hotel muy relajante, agradable ambiente. El personal era muy bueno, amable, atento, sin ser dominantes y eficiente, sin que te hace sentir que una vez terminado una comida, debe abandonar la mesa. La comida estaba muy bien de precio con almuerzos en 4,95 libras, una relación calidad-precio fantástica. Recomendaría este pub como un lugar para tomar una bebida y una comida. Esto es lo que pubs de Somerset debería ser y éste lo hace a la perfección.

El excelente pub con personal sonriente y Malbec a mano se calmó nuestros dolores aptos inmediatos y los menús de pizarra opciones simplificados.

Having in laws that live locally we have been to this pub many times but since the new people have taken over in June this year what a difference. Food is great and reasonably priced. Great atmosphere etc. definitely go again
