The Castle of Comfort in Mendip

We keep coming back and it's still awesome. Great food, lovely staff and a nice chilled vibe.

We stopped by tonight hoping to get a table and although it was busy,the very helpful barman managed to squeeze us in.The beer was excellent and when the food came to our table it was amazing!! Very well cooked and presented and the salad was super fresh and crispy.Staff were very attentive and friendly.The pub was spotlessly clean.Prices are really reasonable.Well done to the team at the Castle of Comfort!! We will be back very soon.

Please sort your opening times on Google. Keep getting caught out!

Food not served all day ,, stops at 2 till 6 not stated on website

We hosted a Sunday lunch for 10 to celebrate the 18th birthday of our granddaughter. Very busy and I think they were fully booked. I anticipated service issues but was so wrong. Orders taken food delivered in very short order, very impressed.Choice of beef or turkey or the main menu. Plenty of meat and my wife even tried to palm a slice off to me. I eat for England and I was already stuffed before deserts. The veg dishes were groaning, and far more generous than any lunch I have experienced. Loads of crunchy roasters! Sweets were not as expensive as many local establishments, so we dived in after a short break. They serve a good range of proper beer including Butcombe, so a winner with me. We didn't hold back on drinks etc and it was £25 per head. We will be returning, highly recommended.

My car broke down and I headed to the Castle of Comfort to wait out the tow truck. The team were so friendly, and accommodating while I waited sorting me out with phone charging etc. I had some tasty snacks and drinks and am very grateful to have broken down at a place where there was such a nice team of people working. Thank you :)

Food out of world great staff nothing to much trouble big portions

After a lovely meal, I had my cash payment refused in front of colleagues which was extremely embarrassing. The reason given was that they were jot accepting scottish bank notes as they had been passed counterfeit ones in the past. This stereotype suggests that all Scottish currency is fraudulent and was very disappointing. Even when pointing out to staff that it was legal currency it was still refused. I then emailed staff to let them know of my disappointment and have had no response at all which is equally as disappointing.

What else can I say, my wife and I had a fantastic meal, and the staff were very welcoming and dog friendly. Highly recommended.

Used to frequent this pub often, the food now is not as good, the pub is cold. The last time we went here was a Saturday around 1pm, we were pounced on when we went jn. And felt very rushed ..... won't be in a hurry to return, great shame

Excellent food, lots of it and good value

We had Sunday roast beef. It was cold the roast potatoes were dreadful. Like cardboard. Must of been heated up all week. Some of the beef was chewy. Veg been kept warm too long

This is our go to ....Great food at very reasonable prices ...very nice staff....and dog friendly for friendly dogs.....

Very friendly great food And service

Good food friendly staff and dogs very welcome

Lovely pub, good beer, great food, reasonable price.

Beautiful country pub. Food was delicious and hot. Menu was good . Staff friendly and considering how busy it was the meals arrived with very little wait. Definitely recommend and will be going back. Starter, main and dessert were top notch . Reasonably priced for excellent quality food.

Hadn’t booked a table but we’re able to get one. Service was quick and efficient. Food was tasty, £16.95 for a beef Sunday roast and £11.95 for fish of the day. Fish was breaded plaice, but that was a bit stodgy.

Food is excellent, good value. Very hard to find a pub serving food without it being "pan fried" lots of parking great pub.

AMAZING food FANTASTIC staff and so friendly

Visited today (06/11.24 ) for the first time in over 30 years and found the service to be friendly and efficient. Good menu and although quite busy the food arrived in good time and well cooked. Land chops and Lamb steaks on the menu which is rarity these days. The Lamb steak was a good size compared to supermarket lamb steaks . Good range of drinks at prices that were more affordable than some other pubs in the area. As a group of 4 wee count fault it . Opening times a tad restrictive and not opened any bank holidays. Best book.

The food came out extremely quickly quickly we did not expect the food to come out to us as we ordered it was a great roast dinner

Called in on way back home from a great day out, hoping to find a pub that would accommodate a walk in meal , as all others were not very helpful . They can't av been more helpful,we were greeted with a genuine nice welcome , i asked very nicely, and lo and behold,managed to squeezed us in with a 1 hour time slot before next reserved table at 7. Drinks from bar were served straight away ,despite it already being busy with a large party, service well attentive and pleasant , food arrived within 15 mins and woz as described " very yummy homemade cottage pie! The lovley food flew down Bong !! into our tummies ! We made sure to leave table well before the next booking with a small tip in appreciation . A very agreeable eating experience for me n my partner girlfriend. Would recommend this pub , great atmosphere geat team service well done all at the Castle of Comfort.

Great place to meet and have lunch. Food is always excellent and the service is great. It does close at 3:00 so you need to be there by 12:30 to get the full experience and not feel rushed. It does get busy so I recommend booking.

Food was 10/10 we stopped on the off chance and it was the best roast dinner we have ever had out. Staff were lovely too. Also dog friendly and a huge garden with swings etc

Best roast dinner we have had out. Stopped on the off chance and we will certainly be back

There were 13 of us and they took great care of us. Lovely food. Fantastic garden. Great place for family get together. Popular place

Lovely family restaurant, serving very nice food. Great for the kids too, with a big play area for children up to the age of 13.

Dropped in here for lunch abd had a cracking meal in a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely visit again.

Great pub, we decided to stop here in our motorhome as they had good parking spaces. The service was top notch and so were the meals. My wife had two entrees and I had the homemade pie. We could not fault the meals as they were delicious and a good size, the staff were friendly and helpful. Would not hesitate stopping here.

Due to a flight delay we were looking for a meal v late at night. We passed this pub and discovered they would be ending service in 5 minutes. The food was reasonably priced, generous portions, piping hot, cooked perfectly; we had Whitby scampi, chips and peas, ham, egg and chips, gammon egg, peas and chips and Cajun butterflied chicken, new potatoes, peas and each meal had a separate side dish of a salad garnish; lettuce, tomato, cucumber, pepper, cress and coleslaw.

OMG, this is a great place to eat. Superb food, very quick service, beautiful garden, very friendly staff. The prices are good too.

Excellent food, service and staff, all of us eally enjoyed our meals, busy place, but we were not waiting long for our meals, staff and attentive. Can't wait to go again

Brilliant food, staff friendly and excellent service. Can't wait to go again

Great food Lovely setting Good gardens and play area for children

Lovely pub Nice play area for the children. Out door patio Food was great value

Always a good quality meal never disappointed

Great place to relax with good beer and great food with friendly staff

Fantastic lunch with friends! Very friendly staff and excellent food. The homemade quiche was absolutely delicious and I've kept thinking about it ever since. We'll be going back again soon!

Highly recommend this place . All the staff were very helpful and friendly and food was excellent . We had my mums 80th birthday lunch there. We were all made to feel very welcome . Great service .

Meal out with the wife was the best meal we have had out for a long time the food was first class and tasted great and the staff were friendly and the service was great lovely old pub

Great food. Nice outside space. A few noisy children but to be expected on a Sunday afternoon.

Visited here for a family meal. Was a lovely pub with a great atmosphere. The food was amazing,we all had good meals. As for portion sizes, you won't be disappointed. Was also all reasonably priced. Will definitely visit again.

A lovely country pub,serving proper pub food and drinks,popped in on the way back from Bristol Airport, never been in there before but will definitely return!! The food was lovely...homemade steak and ale pie jammed full of filling and was so good!! Lovely outside seating area plenty of parking and a really warm welcome....perfect pub!!

Lovely food, location, service and atmosphere. Definitely recommend. 4 adult meals, 2 Desserts and 6 drinks was £80. Very reasonable for huge portions, side salad per person and freshly cooked food.

There is a good selection of food and drink here, especially gin! The food is very reasonably priced, homemade and tasty which means it is somewhere you could go regularly and always have a choice of what to eat without breaking the bank.

We visited the Castle of Comfort whilst on a family camping trip. Having walked 2.5 miles to the pub we arrived thirsty and a little hungry. We ordered several drinks at the bar and asked to order a few plates of chips, only to be told in a very abrupt manor that as our table was on the grass we could not order food - not even 2 portions of chips. When questioning why this was the case the lady behind the bar wasn’t able to justify the reason and reminded us that the pub shut at 3pm. Clearly this pub is run with the priority being the convenience of the staff, rather than the requirements of the customer. Felt like a throwback to the dark customer service days of the 1980’s and very depressing to see such blatant disregard for customers. Strongly recommend against visiting the Castle of Comfort!

Lovely food at a good price. Good GF choice too.

Food was good but the beer was average at best. The service however was downright appalling. The woman who appeared to be in charge was dismissive at best and at worst drove a party of 8 adults and 6 children out into a torrential downpour rather than waiting the 5 minutes for the taxis to arrive. I'll be voting with my feet and never returning. Go to one of the many good pubs in the area instead. The blue bowl for would get my vote!

Enlarged old coaching inn with fireplaces dark moody lounges and bright modern terrace seating, large car park and a great garden for kids

Very good value, and decent food and welcoming staff

Went there for sons birthday, absolutely beautiful food couldn't fault it at all

Had a lovely lunch here on our way from Dorset to Bristol airport Place was really busy which tells you something Beautiful outside area to enjoy the sun and beer.

We stopped after visiting Bristol hospital over the Easter Holidays. The staff were absolutely brilliant. As we had the children with us. We had starters, mains and a couple of drinks. It was a traditional pub, with a great play area for the kids. The atmosphere was welcoming. The food was great, although only one of us like the lasagna. It had a very strong cheese taste. It hasn't put us off. We can't wait to visit again.

Lovely pub. Very busy. Good food and good service.

We had a party of 30 people, including children. The food came out on time, hot, and delicious. Massive thanks to all the staff! Lamb chops are fantastic! We will be back!!

Lovely place to stop on the mendips

Very nice place, very practical with children

Great pub, but it gets super busy. Can be a bit of a squeeze. Good service and good pub food.👍

We had lunch after a walk around nearby woods. I had the Stilton and Broccoli soup which was delicious and my friends thoroughly enjoyed the fishcakes and chips. The meal was served promptly and service was excellent

Good portions of good quality food at reasonable price. Seating is a bit cramped in some places. Bar serving time depends on number of staff available. Table service was efficient. Kitchen is accommodating of specific meal requests (fussy vegetarian in my party). Will certainly visit again.

Excellent evening for 12 people (80th). Food was fantastic all came hot and together mainly Steaks done to perfection. Staff ( bar,/ waiters.) Very efficient and sociable. Will come again...

Excellent food, very helpful, friendly and welcoming staff. Always a joy to visit but book ahead as they are usually very busy (a good sign!!)

Had delays getting to them, but they were so helpful re our car problems and directions re AA. Food was delicious and generous portions.

Excellent food at reasonable prices and good sized servings. Good choice of beers should suit most people - I had Exmoor Fox which was bright, fresh and very enjoyable. Pleasant surroundings with plenty of good quality outside tables - if we ever get the weather! Staff obliging and polite, and food arrived quickly and was very hot. Overall just what a good pub should be - top marks!

The homemade beef and Guinness pie was absolutely delicious.

A lovely place to come for a meal. Really good value, friendly and helpful staff and a great atmosphere.

Very enjoyable, relaxed atmosphere and lovely friendly staff. Food was fantastic, traditional English pub gub, all cooked to perfection. Toilets spotless and atmosphere great with an amazing park for kids. Like Arnie, we will be back!

Delicious food, friendly staff, massive portions.

Lovely country pub, the food and team were amazing! Broke down in the car park and the team couldn’t have been more helpful and supportive. The food and drink were perfect and exactly what I needed! Thanks all!

Excellent pub, great selection of food and drink and good prices! Huge garden and stuff to do for the kids. Overall, well worth a visit, even if it's out of your way ******* x

Always good food & friendly staff

Phenomenal meal, service, ambience. All round. The staff were just so kind, attentive and friendly. The food was reasonably priced and delicious. Served quickly. Just all round superb! Thank you Castle of Comfort! We'll be back again for sure.

Best in the west… Fantastic Tastyfood large portions. Great service friendly staff. Gets better every visit. Thank you

Booked our lunchtime table as this pub is usually busy. It’s on the way to Bristol Airport so people tend to stop off here. Good range of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Food arrived very quickly and was hot and tasty. Staff were lovely and friendly. Good value and looking forward to returning. Thank you all.

Great pub grub at very reasonable prices and really friendly staff.

We were welcomed by friendly staff, the service was good and the food excellent. The staff were very helpful, it was worth the drive from Weston super Mare. We will certainly visit again.

Beautiful homecooked food worth every penny very reasonable bookings are advised as the place was packed. Would definitely go back again and advise anyone wanting to go book in advance

Warm welcome from the staff Fair choice of pub meals and fair price too when it arrived there was a very good portion of food to so great value for money 👍

Excellent food, great service and very pleasant atmosphere - the feel of a traditional country pub. Excellent value too. Will certainly visit again.

We booked a table in advance a while ago, to ensure we would be able to have a pre Christmas meal with our family and not be disappointed. There is always such a lovely atmosphere and the Staff make everyone feel so welcome, as soon as you step inside. The food here is the best, excellent quality, good size portions and affordable prices We had the most perfect evening 10/10.

Prices are very good food excellent. Service is brilliant. This is well worth a visit.

Thank you all very much for yet again your lovely and well priced food. You never disapoint!! We'll be back again in 3 weeks to sample your menu.

Food was fantastic, staff were great.

Lovely pub, great food, friendly staff, reasonably priced. What more do you need?

Very good service. Food was delicious. Service was outstanding & good value for money.

Lovely food and very friendly staff. Thank you

Excellent place fantastic food top staff very quick service I recommend booking a table

We visited The Castle with my Sister and Brother in Law. The food was fantastic. We had prawn cocktail, spring rolls and squid to start. Then ham egg and chips, gammon egg pineapple and chips, scampi and chips and the Cajun chicken and chips. We were all too full to try the puds but sure they would be equally as good. It was all fantastic. Would really recommend this pub for its food, atmosphere and excellent service. Cannot wait to return. ,

Great teebone steak ,but phone ahead to book ,gets packed quickly,they now do a full menu on Sunday as well they do quite a nice menu plenty of choice

Second time eating here, it’s been a few years since our last visit…… it’s just as good if not better! The pub as a whole seems to have had a face lift but definitely hasn’t lost its character! Food is well priced, piping hot and absolutely delicious! Even had a cheeky pudding and it was divine 😋 Staff welcoming, friendly and very helpful.

Great place to stop for a bite to eat. Plenty of menu options and a lovely patio area when it's sunny! The bar does get very busy, so there is often a queue - part of this seems to be because the mobile reception isn't great which means card payments take while to go through. Worth a visit

Good country pub serving good pub food It was very busy with a great play area for children

Stopped here for food early on a Friday evening. Very very popular pub and we were lucky to have the one remaining table. Staff are really friendly and helpful - just like pubs used to be and should be! Lovely varied menu of home cooked food - we settled on the chicken curry. This was really tasty and came to the table nicely presented with popadoms, mango chutney and a salad. Fantastic value for under £10 and delicious! No space for a pudding so we will be back. Thoroughly recommend!

Excellent put great food keep up the good work

Absolutely outstanding food 👌 service is good too such a lovely place and great outdoor space for children

Stopped at this little gem for the first time and we ran out of superlatives! Affordably priced beer, the food was also amazing value - good ingredients, big portions and excellently cooked. The staff were fantastic too. We sat outside on their new patio which was beautiful, it over looks a fab pub garden with climbing frames, slides and swings. This will be great for us and our children. This is now our favourite pub!!

Good pub grub, ok proved. Decent portions, no table service

Fantastic proper pub , really enjoyed the food and the service was brilliant. Amazing beer garden with a large children’s play area

Great pub, dogs allowed, friendly staff. Generous portions, good home-cooked meals. Awesome Sunday roast, cauliflower cheese to die for!
