The Catash Inn in South Somerset

Like Charlie O's review we also booked for a Wedding in the village months ago only to have our two rooms cancelled with just over a week's notice with very limited options locally. Oh and the cancellation was by text - very classy. Avoid unless you want your weekend to be ruined

Booked two rooms for a wedding months ago. Cancelled by text just over a week beforehand so very few alternatives available and nothing locally. Very disappointing and no customer focus. Avoid to avoid disappointment. We are not the first apparently

Beautiful pub & lovely room. Highly recommended & would love to come back

GOING TO A WEDDING LOCALLY? Think twice about booking this accommodation…. Having booked months in advance they cancelled on the morning of the stay. Rural location with taxis booked up & nearest accommodation several miles away. I appreciate that emergencies happen & was sorry to hear the new owners had a family emergency. However, not having a plan B for guests such as a lockbox or local person that can let guests in if the owners are preoccupied is disappointing / poor planning. (Ps: I’m more than happy to delete this review if the owners get in contact to confirm an emergency process has been put in place 😀)

We stopped here to have some lunch on te way back from Cornwall to London. I was really impressed with the Catash Inn, it’s a lovely pub with good friendly service and really good food prices. Highly recommended.

Fantastic pub food! Here on Steak night, had a rump, sirloin, calamari, whitebait and onion rings, and everything was just very well cooked! A very happy couple. Thankyou

Called in to the Cat Ash following a walk around Cadbury Castle and South Cadbury village. My wife and I, along with our dog sat in the garden, in the glorious sunshine. A good selection of ciders for my wife and a 0% Peroni for me. We ordered a light lunch, fish and chips and a sandwich. Couldn’t fault the food, very tasty and a quick service. We will definitely return.

I’ve never heard of The Catash Inn before, but saw an offer on Facebook and decided to check it out. They advertised 11” pizza and a pint for £11 on Wednesdays, so I gave them a call to book. Decent sized car park next to a playground, and the pub looked decent enough. On arrival we were shown to our table, with the lady behind the bar being very understaffed - she asked us to order at the bar due to this. The service, despite her being on her own, was fantastic! It was better than the last few times I have been out to anywhere else. Never without a drink, never waiting for anything, perfect. Pizza was decent, and she offered to box any leftovers up for us too. I liked it more than my wife did. My wife had a dessert, which was ok. The pub itself was a little rough around the edges, for instance no signs for the toilets, no lock on the men’s toilet door, etc. Food mid range, pub and surroundings mid range at best, service impeccable. Will probably go again with the lads for a cheap midweek meal.

Such a lovely pub! Met a friend there as it was half way for us both. Had some good pub grub and really decent prices. The atmosphere was great, nice staff and friendly locals!

Nice local, perfect for a pint after a game of squash or tennis

Thank you to Caroline and the wonderful staff for your excellent service, homely atmosphere and delicious food. The spread of food was amazing and included many options for gluten free and vegan guests, as well as those of us who enjoy a good sausage roll! Many thanks again.

Lovely drinks selection and staff are very friendly.

We had traveled to the area as visiting the Haynes Museum just up the road. We had originally planned to eat at another local pub but walked out after a lack of service and poor atmosphere. After scouring Google Maps we decided on this place for a mid-week lunchtime stop. A nice locals pub that’s clearly been recently treated to a bit of a makeover- nice job too. Sometimes non-locals aren’t particularly welcomed in places like this (I know from living in a village myself, seen it many times) but we found The Catash Inn to be the opposite. From the moment we walked in we felt welcome and actually we were a bit cheeky asking for food so late in the afternoon but luckily the chef said he’d sort us out! I had hunters chicken + chips which as about £11/12, I felt this was good value for money especially as I had loads of chips (very nice too, triple-cooked style but more like fluffy Roast potatoes 👌🏼) the chicken/bacon was tasty too. My wife had Macaroni Cheese + chips which she said was very nice, probably too big a portion really. A good size car park up behind the pub, which from other reviews I’ve read offers overnight parking for campervans so if we’re ever in the area with ours we’d definitely be up for a stop-over! Toilets were well presented and very clean.

Great lunch and vibrant atmosphere...

Nice place, we stayed here for free with the motorhome for a night. And decided to eat something in the Pub. The daughter of the owner was very funny and told us where we could park and go if we wanted some drinks/food. The only downside for us was the weedwacker that came at 10 am and woke us up. This is probably just bad luck, so I wouldn't worry about it if you are coming for a visit.

Stayed the night in our motorhome, made to feel very welcome, nice food, good beer and some lovely countryside to explore.

Lovely friendly pub, really lovely food. Was nice to go to a pub on a Sunday and be able to have something else but a roast, I recommend a visit.

Great location, Very friendly and welcoming, lovely garden and yummy food , thank you.

Amazing place, played a gig there but the food was amazing and the atmosphere was top notch. Highly recommend coming here

Only stopped in for a Sunday lunchtime drink, Very pleasant and friendly service. Nice pub, we will be back to eat sometime.

Always enjoy my trips here. Good range of drinks and a great garden for when the weather permits!

We were meandering to Camelot (well OK,. Cadbury castle) and stopped for lunch. I had a great burger with goat's cheese and caramelised onion chutney. Chips were excellent; crispy on the outside with perfectly done hot steamy spud inside. Also had some great onion rings. The chef is clearly a maestro of the deep fryer. The fish and chips looked great too

Nice Motorhome stop over at the Catash Inn in North Cadbury, near Yeovil. Pretty level spot at the top of the car park for the Moho. Water and hook up (£10) available, but you'll need a converter as it's a 3 pin plug. Very friendly, with good quality, reasonable pub grub Lots of footpaths around the village so good for dogs too.

Great night, good atmosphere and friendly staff.

Quiet quirky village pub. Not bad for a quiz 👌

Good local pub, great food, well kept beer.

Friendly staff my Mac and cheese was dry needed more sauce.

A lovely country pub in a picturesque village. Very friendly and welcoming landlady. Traditional pub grub and ales to choose from - It's our go-to pub!

Great pub, good food,.good atmosphere

A handy oasis off the A303 that we happened on by chance when looking for somewhere to stop for lunch. This fitted the bill perfectly. A lovely welcome from the barmaid/landlady (?). I had a well kept pint of Butcombe Original ale, and my wife a very good cloudy, still, cider. Food was straightforward without being ordinary. We sat in the garden and enjoyed the tranquility of the village. An ideal break for those travelling from the south east to Devon and Cornwall. Will call in again next time we pass.

Great pub good food great service very nice looking in side and very friendly service and excellent staff.

Took the dog on a loner walk than usual and popped in here for a quick bite. Was lovely food and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. Wii definitely go out that way again

We stayed at The Catash Inn Fri - Mon in readiness for a friends Wedding which was held over two days. We absolutely loved every minute of our stay at the Catash and that was due to the owners Caroline who is a fab landlady and James a fab chef and also their other members of staff. Our room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The meal we ate in there on the Fri evening and the breakfasts we had were all excellent, quality ingredients, well presented and extremely tasty. We would highly recommend the Castash Inn for a stay or even a visit just to eat and have a drink, you won't be disappointed. The Catash Inn deserve to go from strength to strength. As they say at the Catash "there are no strangers at the Catash Inn only friends you haven't made yet!" which is so very true.

Cannot rate The Catash Inn enough, Caroline, James and all the team are extremely friendly and helpful. Loved every minute of our stay and would definitely return. As they say "there are no strangers at The Catash Inn only friends you haven't made yet" we definitely class them as our friends.

Great wee local pub food for our darts team is always spot on. Caroline and James go above and beyond

Lovely pub and inn. They were so accommodating, and the English breakfast was lovely. Bed comfortable! We will definitely go back again. Gay friendly pub and inn.

Food was excellent and so was the service

The food was lovely (my partner and I had mac'n'cheese and chips), from a menu that was really well priced. When the food came, the portions were generous, tasty and felt very home cooked. The staff were really friendly and they seemed to really want to take care of us. Must admit, from the outside it looked plain but inside the decor was warm and because of the staff, food and price, we had a great time. It was recommended to us and we were right to take that. Also, the toilets were immaculate which isn't something everywhere can say!

Just had some Mac and Cheese - the dish was lovely. The service was great. Lovely music. Thanks for a good end to the day!

A warm friendly welcome, great food at good value. Really enjoyed our visit here and will definitely come again next time we pass

Delicious food very friendly service reasonable prices Just need to expand the menu slightly Eg Soup, Pate for starters We will return

Excellent food, hospitality and atmosphere

Cosy friendly pub. Good food reasonably priced . Recommend

What a wonderful little pub. The staff and the locals were so friendly and made us feel so at home. Very reasonable prices and the food was very pleasant with pretty decent portions. There are good vege options and they are very dog friendly too (though be careful you may fall in love with some of the local pooches-I was debating smuggling one out!)! Would definitely recommend and will visit again when I am next in the area.

Great pub, very friendly staff and great atmosphere (from a non local visiting)

Stayed overnight in the carpark our motorhome on New Years Eve. Our meals were very nice, home cooked and reasonably priced. Friendly locals and landlord in the pub, had an good night and will definitely be back in summer.

This pub was looking a bit beaten up and tired but has very recently been comprehensively redecorated and refurbished. We live in the village and this was our first visit since the reopening and it was a great surprise. The place feels far more welcoming and comfortable. The biggest improvement is the removal of the ancient and outdated carpet - glad to see the back of it! 6 of us ate there - a variety of decent pub food; generous helpings with excellent chips and very good beer (Doom Bar) A big improvement and will be going there a lot more frequently.

Both staff and customers were all very friendly and welcoming during our visit to The Catash Inn. It had a very homely feel to it. Just what you'd expect from a country pub. We are not dog owners, but it seems to be dog friendly for anyone who is. Great vegan food options too. My husband Alex said he thoroughly enjoyed his vegan Chili, as did I enjoy my food 😋 We hope to visit again soon. Thank you

Great evening playing skittles. Really friendly land lady. Loved it.

Really relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Dogs welcome. Outside, there is plenty of space for children, young and older people. Inside is traditionally and comfortably decorated. Food was very good and very reasonably priced, good portions and excellent service. Everyone in our party (6 of us, aged from 30 to 87) enjoyed the evening. We will go again.

Fantastic spot for the night electric aswell if you want it

The new landlords at The Catash Inn have been fully embraced by the local community. This is because they welcome everyone into the pub, cook amazing food, accomodate for dogs and children, and are just a lovely family in general! 10/10!!!

Friendly place, has the feeling of suffering from lock down blues

Lovely place to sit by the fire and have a drink

In these difficult times for local village pubs its great to find a good traditional British pub with welcoming, hard working staff meeting all the relevant covid requirements whilst offering exceptionally good quality food,( I refer to the Christmas roast diner we have just experienced) served up by the landlord and landlady, Ken and Chris. Well done folks the village appreciates all that you do to promote the village and community. Whilst publicans do their bit for the community the community must continue to support their local pubs too, or ultimately loss these assets that make their villages what they are.

We stopped here in the motorhome way to Cornwall. Rung with short notice, very accommodating. Ken the landlord was there to greet us and show us a good level stop for the motorhome. Had a lovely meal in the pub, bar staff very friendly and polite. Would recommend 😁

Good food and reasonably priced.

Popped in for a drink No atmosphere ... no effort made to engage ... Felt quite awkward We had a drink & left

Great home cooked food. The staff and locals were very friendly. Just half a mile off the A303 it is an ideal place to break you journey away from the roar of the traffic.

My son and I had lunch today and really enjoyed it! The staff couldn't have been more helpful despite having to deal with all the COVID restrictions. It was clean and very welcoming. Highly recommended.

Really friendly local pub, fair prices with decent food.

Wonderful food at a very good price. Warm friendly atmosphere and a lovely garden which I am sure will be beautiful in the summer. Much better now under new management. I recommend it highly.

Good evening out at the wassail friendly place

Went to thier wassail evening so badly organised and 12 quid for sausage and mash rubbish

Called in whilst walking the McMillan Way. Great pint and lovely friendly staff and locals. Maybe should have stayed the night

Fantastic family pub. Lovely staff, gorgeous beer garden and clean facilities.

Stinky farmers and closes too early.

There are new owners since October last year, they are a lovely couple Caroline & James - the food is great. Especially the fish & chips

Called in for lunch on Friday 10th May 2019. The pub is in a small attractive village well away from the main A303 road. Warm welcome on arrival in a smart attractive building served by a decent sized car park. I had the Hunters Chicken which came with chips and a decent salad. Priced at £10 this was good value. Well worth the detour from the A303 if you want a pleasant decent priced lunch.

The half mile detour from the A303 was worth it. We had an excellent meal and our dog was made welcome too.

Lunch stop on way back to Newbury .Short distance off main drag is this picturesque country pub.The place appeared to be in the middle of a referb as the smell of fresh paint was very noticeable,and the toilets could certainly do with an upgrade .The barmaid was welcoming ,but the lunch menu was very limited,so I had an All Day breakfast and wife had scampi.presentation and portions reasonable .OK for a pitstop not sure I would seek it out next time in the area

lovely warm pub with excellent food

39 of us came here for our annual garden club lunch. The welcome was warm, nothing was too much trouble. Our meals were pre ordered and there was no chance of anyone leaving hungry! The portions were enormous- in future, perhaps slightly smaller would have been just as good. I love any pub that serves both cream and custard out of huge jugs! After our lunch they were feeding a shoot at 4pm, followed by two evening sittings for the Wassail; but never once did we feel rushed. Well done and thank you team Catash, I'm sure we'll be back.

A great family get together where we spent our younger year's growing up in this village .

Can’t believe what I heard when I was in this bus I have been going to this pub since I was a small child and the poor bar maid behind the bar who is lovely and does a excellent job got spoken to like a price of crap on the bottom of someone’s shoes by the boss (female) saying she won’t be as good as someone else and was basically crap at her job and the whole pub started to laugh no body should be spoken to like that ever very poor the poor women looked so defeated

Great food, nice relaxed atmosphere. Had the pleasure of staying for one night, although the decor is tired it is very clean, the room was very comfortable. Breakfast was first class. Will definitely be staying again

Great country pub excellent food

Excellent Sunday lunch today -food was delicious , friendly Staff, lovely atmosphere - we will be back again soon.

Nice food really good service and children friendly

Good service, nice food, pleasant atmosphere

Stayed at north Cadbury court over the weekend for a family 25th anniversary, went into the pub Saturday and Sunday lunch time, very warm welcome and great food, highly recommended

Nice pub/B and B. verry friendly owner and clean rooms. Great food!! The plumming could do with a upgrade but its a old building so i dont know if that's possible.

Good food good atmosphere lovely staff everyone should go there for a meal.

We were late in...no problem.Had the carvery..great value and good food , proper fresh vegetables and home cooked roast potatoes. The lady behind the bar was very friendly.the table area was not cramped which is nice. A very friendly feeling pub.

Not bad fine for what I needed but withno wi fi need to sort tv reception

Very welcoming staff. Tidy clean and serves a top pint

Lovely decor and accommodation Very friendly and helpful hosts.

Great Sunday carvery, just like a home roast. Nice proper friendly local pub.

Lovely welcome, good lunchtime menu at great prices.

The Catash is a rural public house located just off the A303. Bar staff pleasant and fruendly. Not an extensive bar meal menu available, prices though are reasonable. Toilets facilities are in need of attention which affects the whole presentation of the pub.

We popped in on a Saturday afternoon and were greeted with a big warm welcome. The staff are fabulous and the food is excellent! It’s pubs like this that make me proud to be British! We’ll be back!

Quiet pub until the loud **** laughs

Very good food and reasonably priced drinks. The staff are very friendly and the entertainment was amazing.(Morris dancing )

Quaint country pub with extensive menu. Friendly approachable staff. Super food

Near a park. The staff are so kind to everyone and there is a pool table. It has an outside seating area where the kids can run around whilst you eat. Food is amazing as are the facilities.

Proper job a proper village pub with great food and friendly staff

Called in on the off chance, we had Saturday stake night. Wonderful, a choice of wine, which was recommended and very good. Our stakes arrived well cooked to our taste, very nice and tender. All for £25. What's not to like.Everything was really good, our host was very attentive. The added bonus of excellent free wifi.We look forward to our next visit.

Good clean room and good service.

Good first impression from outside .Decent car park ,nice greeting .The room has charecter and the beds comfy and a decent shower .The food was well priced and okay .Breakfast was good and the ingredients were nice .Now we come to the beer unfortunately there were only two real ales one was alright the other was not drinkable .I didn't spoil what a good stay in a place I would happily return to .

Looking for somewhere to have lunch on our way back to home in Devon we found The Catash Inn, close to the A.303 in North Cadbury. We both chose the Seafood Platter from the specials board and what a treat that turned out to be. The food was delicious and the bar staff and the chef, who brought our food to the table, were lovely. We have had some disappointments at eateries just off the 303 but this certainly was not one of them.
